Pierre: See the dashed line in the image in the attached .PNG file. I was
thinking of a rough cone made of alternating layers of ice cream and
chocolate bar.

Green ice cream (mint or pistachio) makes "forested slopes", while white
ice cream (vanilla or butter pecan) makes "snow-covered slopes". Black
chocolate bars and brown nuts make "cliffs" and "boulders". Drizzled fudge
(black) makes random "rock formations" sticking "through" the snow and/or
forest.
