When you have worked over the entire ball of clay, press into the bottom edge of the ball and pull the clay down slightly to create the overflow of ice cream you get from an ice cream scoop.
Use a fine pin to mark a narrow line around the base of the ice cream ball, as if the ball has been pressed down by an ice cream scoop. Where the pin presses it will form a glossy line, similar to the line created by the ice cream scoop.
Use a pin or a toothpick or a polymer clay blade and press up under the ball to remove it from the modelling support.
Set the ball on a baking tile and bake at the appropriate temperature for your clay.
