The Art Of Candle Making

Easy Decorative Candles

Whipped wax is an easy way to start making decorative candles once you know how. In this case, we will make decorative cup cake candles using whipped wax topping and waxed cupcake cases. To start, you’ll need to make a whipping wax by melting the wax and adding a little 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.

This candle can be finish decorated using chunks of recycled wax or scraps from the pan to add a little color. You can also use regular food sprinkles which will really give your candle a very distinctive look. If a more decorative finish is desired, you can use decorated cupcake cases such as silver or gold, but be sure to remove the paper before burning the candle.
