3. - Roll out the white fondant so that it's paper thin, less than 1/16 of an inch. Use craft knife to cut out toenail shapes. With the modeling tools, emboss lines on the tops for texture.
4. - Create small balls of fondant, about ?-1/4 and attach to pops using a dot of melted candy for corns.
5. - Make the skin-tone colored candy a dipping consistency by adding EZ Thin according to package directions. Dip each toe cake pop into melted candy, making sure to coat the entire toe and shaking to remove the excess.
6. - Place fondant toenail on pop, then insert upright into craft foam to let them set.

8. - Mix ? cup piping gel with 2 teaspoons of Christmas Red icing color. Brush piping gel on toe as desired to add bloody effects.
