Ice Cream

Yummy!
No, not really. At the moment it is about 95F/35C outside and inside I keep it around 80F/27C. Really nice weather to eat ice cream, but a little too hot to photograph it.
On internet you can find many recipes to make "photographic ice cream". In the end I decided just mix cornstarch and conditioner (for your hair). This because you I had both ready and in order to get the right kind of "dough" you add just a little more of either one.
It looked pretty good the only issue was that the sprinkles would not stick.
So after a few "bare" pictures (this is one of them) I added chocolate and strawberry sauce. That got a bit messy, but gave still fun pictures. One is used as a filler: http://365project.org/ingrid01/365/2017-06-17
This looks so much like real ice cream that it fooled me. But then, I do understand why you did this. It does give you more time to get the right photograph.
Well done!

Definitely fooled me initially! Both of your "photographic ice cream" shots are wonderful! Well done, Ingrid! :-)

@farmreporter - yes it did give me a lot more time to take the shot! I had a real ice cream afterwards and it started to melt when I started to scoop it. I'm not complaining, but Houston summers are pretty hot.

Thank you @gaylewood
After I tried it out myself, I really look different at ice cream shots: "is it real or is it not?!"
