- Whip the Cream Cheese with enough of the Cream until it is soft enough to go through a pastry tube.
- Fill a pastry bag with the softened Cream Cheese.
- Squeeze a dot of Cream Cheese onto each Peach where the eyes should be; place a Raisin over each spot of Cream Cheese.
- Slice the Maraschino Cherries in half; squeeze a dab of Cream Cheese in place for the nose; place 1-2 Cherry halves over the Cream Cheese; use a toothpick to hold in place if necessary.
