She has been featured in numerous magazines including Cake Masters and The American Cake Decorating Magazine, among others. Most recently, Joyce won Cake Wars Season 4 Episode 6 on Food Network!

Today, Joyce is going to show you how to replicate 2 popular ice cream truck items you may recognize from your youth. But there's a catch! As with all of Joyce's creations, things are not what they seem... These "ice cream" treats aren't ice cream at all! Read on to see what she's done!

With Summer here, our days are filled with ice cream truck music! And what better way to pay homage to the delights of summer than with a sugarcraft tribute to two popular ice cream truck items? I'm going to show you how I made a Tweety Bird pop and a classic ice cream sandwich out RKT and fondant. And as an added bonus- Rice Krispies don't melt in the summer heat!

Tweety Bird Ice Cream Supplies: 

• 6 Rice Krispie Treat Packages
• Yellow Edible Art Paint
• White Edible Art Paint
• Sky Blue Food Color (Americolor)
• Orange Airbrush Color (Americolor)
• Innovative Sugarworks Sugar Shapers Pointed Chisel (Blue 6) Square Tip Chisel ( Yellow 4) Bone Chisel (Orange 2) Trip-Tip Chisel (Orange 1) 
• 2 Paint Brushes
• Paint pallets
• Rolling Pin
• Pizza Cutter
• Mat
• White Fondant ( Satinice )
• Ice pop Stick (Any craft store)

Directions:

Step 1
Unwrap 6 packages of rice crispy treats and start to press and shape into tweety birds head. (Use google image for reference).

Step 2
Use your Sugar Shapers Bone Chisel (Orange 2) to make eye ball indentations and to form the cheeks. Use the Trip-tip chisel (Red 1) to make better indentations on the cheeks. Use the Pointed chisel (Blue 6) to shape the mouth.

Step 3
Roll out the white fondant, thick enough to cover the rice texture. Cover the top and cut the excess. Then pick up and lay a second piece of rolled out white fondant and trim excess, just like you would panel a cake.

Step 4
Using your Sugar Shapers Bone Chisel (Orange 2) re-indent the eyes.

Step 5
Take a small amount of white fondant and color with your sky blue food color. Once the right color is achieved, roll two small balls for the "gumball" eyes.

Step 6
To paint the mouth, mix a dot of orange airbrush color with yellow edible art paint. Using a fine brush, paint the mouth.

Step 7
Using yellow edible art paint, paint the entire face, being careful around the eyes and mouth. Use your Sugar Shapers Square Tip chisel (Yellow 4) to create a indentation for the ice pop stick and insert stick.

Tah-dah! A convincing, yet unmeltable Tweety pop! And now on to the ice cream sandwich!

Ice cream Sandwich Supplies:

• 2-Rice Krispie Treats Packages
• Chocolate Brown Food Color ( Americolor )
• Black Food Color (Americolor)
• Innovative Sugarworks Sugar Shaper Pointed Chisel (Blue 6)
• Rolling Pin
• Pizza Cutter
• Mat
• White Fondant 1lb ( Satinice )

Step 1
Remove Rice Krispie Treats from packaging and squeeze together short side to short side to create the right dimensions for the ice cream portion of the sandwich.

Step 2
Using your rolling pin, roll the two treats to flatten and help blend the seams.

Step 3
Roll out white fondant thick enough to cover the texture of the rice. Once rolled out, place your fondant over the treats and trim the excess.

Step 4
Mix a portion of the white fondant with the brown gel food color and a smaller portion of the black food color. Then add a little black at a time to get a nice dark chocolate color.

Step 5
Roll out the dark chocolate fondant. Place your "ice cream" block on top of the rolled out fondant and use your pizza cutter to cut out the cookie thins for the sandwich.

Step 6
Repeat for the top cookie thin of the sandwich. Then use your Sugar Shapers Pointed Chisel to make indentation holes.

And there you have an imposter ice cream sandwich! I hope you've enjoyed this tutorial, and enjoy fooling your  friends with these "ice cream" treats!
