Utensils
1 plate and 1 metal tray (baking tray is OK) chilled in the freezer before starting
- Fish slice
- Sharp knife for shaping the ice cream and cutting the licorice and wafer biscuits
- A jug of hot, boiled water to dip the knife in to make cutting easier

Remember: when working on a sculpture keep putting it back into the freezer about every 5 minutes to prevent it from melting and to retain its firm shape.
