• Take the pieces out of the freezer at a minimum of -18°C
• First spray the yellow in a uniform layer from 25-30 cm distance with a food paint gun
• Spray the orange in localized touches on the rounded areas (top, pronounced curves) to create the natural ripe mango gradient
• Add a stylized tail in tempered dark chocolate shaped with a spatula for maximum realism finish
