1.  Open a transparent canvas of 150 x 200 pixels.  Flood fill this layer with white and then make a second raster layer.  This is the layer we will be drawing on so make sure it is the active layer by clicking on it.

2. Pick the paintbrush tool set at size one and draw the outline by following the pictures.

These are the colors I used:

Glass: #ACD1F0
Strawberry: #ED9FCB
Vanilla: #F8F1B8
Chocolate: #F4AF64
Wafer: #F4Af64

3.  Pick your flood fill tool (the bucket) and making sure that the 'sample merged' box is checked, fill in your sundae.

These are the colors I used:

Glass (all): #E0EFFA
Strawberry: #F7C8E2
Vanilla: #F8F4D1
Chocolate : #CB906F
Wafer: #FC389A

NOW FOR THE SHADING

4.  With your magic wand, select the left glass indent

Selections > Float > Effects > 3D Effects > Cutout
with these settings:

Vertical = 1
Horizontal = 1
Opacity = 70
Blur = 4
Shade = #5999CB

Keep selected and apply a second cutout:

Vertical = 0
Horizontal = -1
Opacity = 70
Blur = 6
Shade = #FFFFFF

Deselect.

Apply the same cutout to each of the glass indents one at a time.

5.  With your magic wand, select the glass stem.

Selections > Float > Effects > 3D Effects > Cutout
with these settings:

Vertical = 1
Horizontal = -1
Opacity = 70
Blur = 6
Shade = #5999CB

6.  With your magic wand, select the strawberry ice-cream.

Selections > Float > Effects > 3D Effects > Cutout
with these settings:

Vertical = -4
Horizontal = -2
Opacity = 95
Blur = 14
Shade = #EDGFCB

Deselect.

Apply the same cutout to each ice cream in turn but using #F1E89F for the vanilla shade and #A5562B for the chocolate shade.

7.  With your magic wand, select the wafer.

Selections > Float > Effects > 3D Effects > Cutout
with these settings:

Vertical = 0
Horizontal = 0
Opacity = 80
Blur = 11
Shade = #EAA254

Deselect.

Hide or delete the first layer (the one we filled in with white) and save as a .psp file for future use.

That's it!  Your done!
