DanaE Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 This is for a friend who is absolutely crazy for carrot cake! It's a 3-wick candle that weighs approximately 7 lbs...I couldn't really get good lighting with it, but it's close enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanaE Posted August 13, 2005 Author Share Posted August 13, 2005 Another view.....I use dazzle dust on top to make it look like it has sugar on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mtngrl Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 Love those carrots, particularly 'cuz you used two colors. How tall is that baby? Doing the icing like you did, is that a 'grubby' technique? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tara Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 Wow that looks so real I like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanaE Posted August 13, 2005 Author Share Posted August 13, 2005 I guess you could call it a grubby. In this instance it's simply frosting on the cake. I have two apple cakes to finish and some more coconut cream pie and then I'm through making frosting/grubby for a while! My arms ache already.Oh, it's a 6x6 mold, although I guess it's a little larger than that now with the frosting on it.DanaE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanaE Posted August 14, 2005 Author Share Posted August 14, 2005 I've never sold a 3-wick candle - I've made probably 10 all together, and they were always presents. I've seen some of them sell for $25-$35. It's 7+ lbs of wax, and about 12 ounces of FO (used 6228 wax and 1-1/2 ounces of FO per lb).I haven't frosted the apple cake because I can't decide how to arrange the apple slices and cinnamon sticks on top. I've made a million patterns and don't like any of them. I'm thinking about just breaking up some apple slices and making them stick up out of the frosting. I don't know. I'll work on it it today. I have 2 of them, so if I don't like the pattern on one, at least I have another chance to get it right!DanaE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
