I created a fun summer-themed Popsicle. I used rectangle tool and softened the edges using direct selection tool to create the popsicle shape. I then used shape tool to create the stick. In addition, Extrude and Bevel effect from 3D effect menu was applied on both the stick and the popsicle for a more dimensional effect. I added a small gradient shape placed behind the popsicle for a seamless shadow effect between the stick and the popsicle.
