Directions: makes one cupcake candle

1. Center the Wick Pin in the bottom half of the Cupcake Mold.
2. Melt 5.5 ounces of Wax in a double boiler.
3. Completely melt the wax and get it to a temperature of approximately 160-180 degrees F.
4. Thoroughly mix in 0.5 ounces Fragrance Oil.
5. Let the temperature of the wax lower to 155 degrees F.
6. Slowly pour the wax into the bottom half of the Cupcake Mold.
7. Take the leftover wax and add Candle Dye until the desired shade is reached.
8. Slowly pour the wax into the top half of the Cupcake Mold.
9. Set aside the leftover wax; it will be needed later.
10. Allow the candle to cool.
11. Turn the Mold upside down and gently unmold the candle halves.
12. Carefully take the Wick Pin out of the bottom half.
13. Heat up the tip of the Knitting Needle.
14. While the Knitting Needle is hot, push it through the center of the top half of the cupcake to create your wick hole.
15. Remelt the leftover wax and drizzle some of it on the the bottom half of the cupcake (this will act like “glue” for the two pieces).
16. Quickly place the top half of the cupcake on the bottom half and line up the wick holes.
17. Allow the wax “glue” to cool.
18. Carefully insert the Wick into the hole, and ta-da…there’s a unique Cupcake Candle to spice up any celebration!
