This is one of the easier
candles to make, because it is pretty much just a "some assembly
required" candle. |

First, secure your
wick to the
center of the plate using hot glue or a wick-sticker. |

Next,
melt your gel, add red candle dye and fragrance, if desired. Be sure
to mix thoroughly. Then pour onto your plate. You will want enough
on the plate to securely seat your
brownie and leave enough room on
the sides for your
raspberries.

Next,
pour a little gel on top of the
brownie. This will help to secure
your ice cream scoop to the
brownie.
|
|
|
  |
Slide
your
ice cream scoop down the wick, pressing firmly in the gel to
secure it to the
brownie. |
|
|
  |
Melt
more gel wax. Add brown candle dye and fragrance (I like a Fudge Nut
Brownie fragrance). Mix thoroughly. I like to let my chocolate
"sauce" gel to thicken a bit in the mixing pot before I pour it on
the ice cream scoop. This makes for better chocolate "sauce" drips
down the side of the candle. Now, pour your chocolate "sauce" gel on
top of your ice cream scoop.

If you
don't know how to whip wax, you will want to review my
Whipped Wax
Instructions. Once your wax is whipped, quickly scoop it
into your re-usable pastry bag. Carefully squeeze
whipped wax around your wick, for your whipped cream
dollop |
|
|
 |
Quickly
thread your
cherry over the wick and seat gently into your whipped
wax. Trim wick to approximately 1/4" above the
cherry |

hard, was it? Give yourself a big pat on the back! You did an
awesome job
