CupCake Candles
Basic Candle Making Supplies
Cupcake molds
cake sprinkles
assorted dyes for cupcakes
Making whipped wax for decorative candles is rather simple when you know how and it can turn a candle into something spectacular.
For this project we used waxed cupcake cases from the baking department filled them with coloured wax and a wick and then once set added the whipped wax topping.
When making your whipping wax add a little extra stearine.
Allow the melted wax to skim over and form a top layer crust, then using your egg whisk, beat up the wax to form a frothy mix. Spoon it onto your candle and allow it to set.
We finished this candle off with chunks of recycled wax (scraps from pan's) for a little color. but adding regular food sprinkles looks lovely too.
For a more decorative finish use decorated cupcake cases such as silver or gold. But be sure to remove the paper before burning the candle.
