  Using the light brown outline consistency icing, outline the popsicle stick and flood with light brown royal icing. Wait until the icing is just crusted over before moving on to the next step.

  Use light blue royal icing to outline the lower third of the popsicle.

  Next, use light pink to outline the middle third of the popsicle.

  Using your pink flood consistency icing, fill in the middle pink section of the popsicle. Use a toothpick or scribe tool to coax the icing to the edges and to pop any air bubbles.

  Fill in the blue bottom third of the popsicle with blue flood consistency royal icing. Use a toothpick or scribe tool to coax the icing to the edges and to pop any air bubbles.

  Ensure the pink section of the popsicle is just crusted over before completing this step. Once the pink icing is just crusted over, use your white outline consistency icing to outline the top part of the popsicle, and then flood with white flood consistency icing. Move quickly to the next step.

  While the white icing is still wet, add sprinkles to the top part of the popsicle.

  It may help to use a pair of offset tweezers or a scribe tool to move the sprinkles around for optimal placement.
