Add ” Inner Shadow “.

Add ” Gradient Overlay “.

Here is my outcome.

Step 26

Next, we add layer mask on chocolate layer and use hard brush and erase some parts to get the proper imperfections for ice cream. I used large hard brush to erase most of the chocolate parts, and small hard brush to create the chocolate drops.

Step 27

For additional toppings, we will create sprinkles over the chocolate. We use small hard brush to create some circle like this image.

Double-click on this white sprinkles layer and use the settings below.

And you should get result like this.

Step 29

Create a new layer and add more small brush. Repeat the previous step for blue sprinkles.

Click on the appropriate icon to ” Create new fill or adjustment layer ” found at the bottom of the layers panel, and select ” Curves “. Use these settings to adjust the tone.
