  5. Whip the Cream Cheese with enough of the Cream until it is soft enough to go through a pastry tube.
  6. Fill a pastry bag with the softened Cream Cheese.
  7. Squeeze a dot of Cream Cheese onto each Peach where the eyes should be; place a Raisin over each spot of Cream Cheese.

  9. Squeeze a line of Cream Cheese where the mouth and eye lashes should be; form the mouth and eye lashes with the Licorice strings.
