PREPARATION:  After removing casts from molds, cut out the bed of the pickup to size of Christmas or pumpkin lid.   Do not follow the bed lines of the pickup, the opening will be too large for the lids.  Place all holes needed for electrical.  Place holes in tree. Use the cut out element of the back of the pickup and if desired, slip attach to the inside bottom of the bed to cover up the pour hole. 

NOTE:  It is easiest to basecoat and drybrush the red areas of the pickup first since the over drybrush will get on most of the other areas.  Apply basecoats and wash to the other areas once the red areas are finished.

How to make fake whipped cream frosting
We suppose there are many ways this can be done. This is how we achieved the frosting used on our samples.
The fake whipped cream frosting was made using Daiso Soft Clay and white glue. To learn how, we looked it up on YouTube. We suggest you do the same. The videos we watched made it look more difficult that it was. We went ahead and tried it anyway, so glad because it is so easy.
Materials Needed: Daiso Soft Clay, water, white glue such as Elmer’s or Mod Podge Satin. Acrylic paint to color the whipped cream/frosting. Small plastic mixing containers with tight-fitting lids, that are clean and dry. Stir sticks, such as a popsicle sticks. Frosting piping tips and silicon piping bags.
Step One: Gently break 1/2" to 1" pieces of the clay into your plastic jar, as many that will fit in the jar very loosely. You can add more as you go if desired. Keep unused clay in an air tight container or bag.
Step Two: Add a couple drops of water and stir. If needed add more drops of water. The clay will emulsify quickly.  It should be a bit stiffer than regular frosting.
Step Three: (we used Mod Podge Satin) Add white glue or Mod Podge, about 4X more glue than you added water. Stir until it is well incorporated with the clay and resembles the texture of real whipped cream frosting. Add more clay, water or glue accordingly.
Step Four: For color frosting add a very, very small amount of acrylic color to make a pastel color frosting. You can always add more color. We used Mayco’s Limeburst for the green frosting and Royal Fuchsia for the pink frosting.
Step Five: Apply to item with the popsicle stick or knife as you would regular frosting to a cupcake, or pipe it using piping tips and silicone piping bags. Pipe the same way as you would real frosting.
Notes:
You can pat it with your finger to “tame” it or use a small slightly damp brush to nudge it or clean it up before it dries.
We found this fake whipped cream frosting easier to use than real frosting.
This is the only brand of this type clay we tried, checking out other YouTube videos, it was suggested the Japanese produced clay was the best. This is by Daiso.
The silicone piping bags were great as the “frosting” did not stick to it like it did to a zip lock bag. Cleans up easily with water.
We used one block of the Soft Clay to frost everything shown, plus some practice work. Some frosting is still in the piping bags.
Different white glues and different clay may make a difference, we have only used Mod Podge Satin and the Daiso Clay and the finished product looks exactly like the real stuff!

We used the smallest tips to do these projects.
The “frosting” seems to stick well to glaze, bisque, plastic, card board, everything we have used it on so far.
We did have to use glue to help some of the add on’s stay in place.
Water or moisture will most likely dissolve the fake frosting.
The Daiso Soft Clay and piping kit was purchased seperately on Amazon Smile.
The add on’s - fake sprinkles, confetti, fake sugar, white and colored foam Nonpareils are evidently big in the slime business. The foam nonpareils and fake candy were purchased at Hobby Lobby. The foam nonpareils were in the slime section and the fake candy was found in Hobby Lobby’s Christmas, Tree for Me section. Fake sprinkles and sugar we found on Etsy and Ebay.
