Step by step
Roll a thick red roll and flatten the top and bottom: that's the mug.
Press a flat brown circle on top as the hot chocolate.
Bend a thick red roll into a handle and press it onto the side.
Swirl a white strand upwards on the hot chocolate as whipped cream.
Press black eyes, a smiling mouth and pink cheeks onto the mug.
Put a small red ball on top as a cherry. Done!
Tip
Swirl the whipped cream upwards like a snail shell: start wide and finish with a point.
