  1. Stitch around the applique pieces using your desired technique. I outlined the piecing detail of the cone and then satin stitched around the outer edge. I used blanket stitch to applique around the ice-cream and cherry.
  1. Using DMC embroidery floss, add sprinkles with random long stitches on the blue ice-cream and French knot chocolate chips on the brown ice-cream. Long-stitch the cherry stem.
