- Second Scoop: Place second scoop (e.g., Agua Fuerte) atop the first. Sew gently, taking care with the ruffled border-do not compress the border flat; allow it to frill outward.
- Toppings: Glue or sew chocolate drizzle directly to top scoop. Attach whipped cream at the center, securing by weaving in ends or fabric glue. Add the cherry on top, centering for vertical balance and whimsical height.
- Finishing: Use yarn tails from assembly to add final stitches for security. Adjust and fluff borders and toppings as needed.
