Day Two: Strawberry and Vanilla Ice Cream Sandwich

Sorry that I forgot to post a dessert charm yesterday! I was picking strawberries with some friends and completely forgot about posting until midnight! anyways, I woke up early today to make this ice cream sandwich. Looks so yummy- makes me hungry...and hungrier still because I haven't had any breakfast, yet.

Ingredients:

• Metal Staple-Straightened
• Skewer
• Model Magic-Black and Brown
• Play Dough- Pink and White
• Needle
• Xacto Blade
• Strawberry and Vanilla Extract*

*I actually was too lazy to go downstairs to get these extracts so I just used a berry pie scented oil (says on the bottle that it was a mixture of cranberry, orange, and vanilla). This goes to show that you can do any type of flavoring that you want.

Instructions:

1. To make the chocolate bread slices, mix together black and brown Model Magic in a ratio of 3:4.
2. Use the cylinder side of the Xacto knife to gently flatten the hun into a slab. Remember to leave some thivkness as a real ice cream sandwich would have. Cut out two rectangles of matching size. Lay out the slabs. Use the side of the blade to go around all of the bread's edges to soften them up. Use a needle point to mke two long rows of evenly spaced dots on both bread pieces.
3. To make the ice cream, get a ball of white and and a ball of pink Playdough. Press together. Roll into a cord until the two colors line up with each other perfectly. Shape the cord into a rectangle with slightly smaller dimensions than the chocolate breads. Carefully dip the ice cream into the scented oil, and then sandwich it between the two bread slices.
4. Shape a hook from the staple- follow steps in the Chocolate Mint Cone post- and stock onto the top of the ice cream sandwich.
5. Dip the whole charm into the scented oil. Allow time for the oil to dry- the scent will still be in the charm- before packaging. See tips for packaging in the Chocolate Mint Cone post.

Stay tune for today's charm post!
