......well I'm not but I have just got a lovely new mould and I thought I would share the end result with you. These are tiny at 2 1/14 inch by 2 1/4 inch - thought they would make nice wedding favours.

I think they are quite cute.

dinky-do!
They're really sweet.
Could you do them in people's colour schemes? I know nothing about candle-making...

Wow they're gorgeous.
The shops are full of tiny candles at the moment to put on top of cakes. Yours would be great on a wedding cake.
Just a pity you have to light them though!

Hi Jules,
Yep any colour they want. I offer a colour matching service. This one was made with plain wax and scented with sweat pea (ow it is lovely a new one I got too). You couldn't see the detail when I took a picture so I just brushed it with candle bronzing powder to show up the detail and voila. They are tiny, just a bit bigger than votives but the detail in them is amazing.
Cheers.

I never even thought of Wedding Cakes - I really will need to get the old thinking cap on.
Cheers.

Well done Lisa, I think they are great and just in time for the start of the wedding season too.

Just test burning it just now. It actually burns quite well which is really lucky for a first try. Usually takes a good few attemps before I get the right wick size!! Certainly doesn't look like a 3 tired wedding cake now. More like a sponge. hehe.

Well done Lisa, it's gorgeous. I'm sure they will become a best seller - i can picture them all the way around a wedding cake.
Are there any cake makers/cake suppliers round your area as it may be worth taking some to show them.

Yep there are a few, will get in touch with them. I will make up a little batch and take them round the doors - cap in hand.
Thanks all glad you like them.
Cheers.
