To make this ice-cream cone, all you need is PSP.

1.  Open a transparent canvas of 50 X 75 pixels, this should give you plenty of room to work with.  Flood fill this layer with white and then create a new raster layer.  This is the layer we will be drawing on so make sure it is active by clicking on it.

2.  Pick you paintbrush tool set at size 1 and draw the outline.
These are the colors I chose but feel free to pick your own.

cone: #D6AD7C
Ice-cream: #F0A8A0
Flake: #844B08

(This picture is if you don't want to have the flake, there was no need to number this one)

3.  Pick your floodfill tool and make sure that the 'sample merged' box is checked.  Fill in your ice-cream.

These are the colors that I chose:

Cone: #CC995C
Ice-cream: #F4C8C2
Flake: #B26E1E

This is what you should have.

4.  Pick your magic wand and select the right section of the ice-cream.

Selections > Float > Effects > 3D Effects > Cut out

with these setting:

Vertical = 2
Horizontal = 0
Opacity = 80
Blur = 2
Shade = #F0A8A0

Deselect.

Repeat step 4 for each section of the ice-cream.

That's it.... You're done!
