SORRY FOR THE BIG FILE!!I know, I rambled on too much D;
And sorry for my bad handwriting.
So, I decided to make a tutorial for ice cream.. some people asked me how I made the cone in my ice cream charm picture, others for the texture of the ice cream, so here it is! My first tutorial!! Hope you find it helpful
I'm not claiming any of the techniques used here to be my own.. most of it came out of practising and perfecting, and also reading other crafters' tutorials. Well, ok, except for the pencil part.. I'm quite sure no one else would do something so weird. =.=
Please feel free to ask me any questions regarding things I didn't explain properly, I'll be glad to help. Oh, and spelling mistakes too, if you find one.
Edit: A few people have asked me this, so I'll write it here:
"Why no acrylics?": Acrylics are water based, so when you bake it the water will evaporate and cause bubbles in your work that will probably show up on the surface, or cause minor cracks in it and making it less durable.. or so I've heard. Lots of tutorials I've read has told me this, however I've never tried it myself, so I'm not totally sure

Very clever stamp idea! One question...why do you use oil paints instead of acrylic? I thought it was better to use acrylic...
By the way, this is, seriously, one of the BEST tutes I've seen.

Because you shouldnt bake acrylics in the oven.. Acrylics are water based, so when you bake it the water will evaporate and could cause bubbles in your work that will probably show up on the surface, or cause minor cracks in it and making it less durable. Acrylics are best for painting after baking only.
Thanks~

Wow I would have never thought of a pencil. Creative! Also using pastels as coloring, just wow haha. That's pretty awesome maybe I'll try that. Maybe when I have no school. Haha.

This is so adorable, and so very helpful! 
What colour of clay do you use for the ice cream scoop? I'm a noob to making clay things and stuff.

You're welcome!! Well, obviously it depends on what flavour you want(which is why I didnt put it on there), but for vanilla it's white, yellow with a tiny bit of brown (I don't like mixing yellow into white by itself because it turns out neon-ish.. but that depends on what brand of clay you use) and a little bit of transparent.

Acrylics are water based, so when you bake it in the oven bubbles will form that will probably show up in your work

This is so cute >.I've a few questions!
I see there that you have pastels, I think I have the same ones, but how do you shave off the color ? ;-; I can't seem to do it right :/.
And my other question is.. why can't you use acrylics? I imagine oil paints take longer to dry D:
thank you!! >w<

Thanks
Use a craft knife and scrape it! If you can't shave it off, then it might be oil pastels.. I've never tried to cut those up, but maybe thats why..?
When you bake it in the oven, the oil paint will dry very quickly as you really don't need very much at all
I've read a lot of tutorials that say you shouldn't use acrylics, the reason being that it's water based, so when you bake it the water will evaporate and cause bubbles in your work.. I've never tried it myself, so I'm not totally sure
