How can i get an ice cream texture on polymer clay?
is there some kind of cloth that makes it that way or do i hand texture it (like repeatedly poking it with a clay tool)
like this one ice cream on my favorite site that gives me ideas >___<

and also, what’s used to give a syrupy saucy look (like syrup or barbecue sauce) for polymer clay food

There are various ways to make "faux" ice cream with polymer clays (and also faux syrups, frostings, whipped cream, etc.).
This one looks as if it may have used the baking soda technique, but not sure .
You can check out a lot of possibilities though on the "Miniatures" page at my polymer clay "encyclopedia":

(…click on ICINGS, FROSTINGS, etc… and also on CAKES for the spongy texture)

An extruder will do that with dryer clay, or maybe try literally scooping it with a melon baller (for miniature) or something so you’re literally doing what does it to ice cream?
Whatever makes ice cream do it should make the clay do it, just might take a little more elbow grease.
