Coloring Tips
- 1 Shade the frosting darker near the swirls and lighter on top for fluffy shine.
- 2 Color the candy cane with neat red-and-white stripes; add a thin gray shadow on one side.
- 3 Use two greens on the hat: dark for the stripes, light for the rest.
- 4 Make the belt buckle bright yellow to pop against the outfit.
