dcroome2005 Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 I need blue and red cupcakes for a fundraiser for Relay for Life but right now I am just testing and playing .. I swear I am about to go find a cupcake mold and be done with it. I could never be a cake decorator. I just plain SUCK at icing anything. This is with my container wax. I think the metal tip that I used was way too small so it may it hard to work with and then it came out like ..... PLOOOOOOP. LOLThe red sprinkle one is still the real sprinkles .. I just wanted to prove to myself that I could not dump the entire container of sprinkles out on one cupcake like my previous ones did. HAHAHA I showed self control. The committee that I am working with want blue tops with white sprinkles which will show up better. The other two have some white dusting that came from AH/REIdeas? Suggestions? I will take all advice possible just DONT laugh! I still think they look much better than the ones I posted last week with the blue top .

dcroome2005 Posted October 5, 2011 Author Share Posted October 5, 2011 the other thing I am worried about is shipping these to Florida. How the heck will they get there with container wax on top and not melting!!! I bought these really cute cupcake paper wrappers too but I will not use them. I could make up a warning to REMOVE PAPER wrapper before lighting but you know some idiot will not read and just light it. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desertrose Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 I don't know anything at all about wax cupcakes (except they usually make me hungry looking at them).Container wax on top? The icing is container wax? Wouldn't that make it just melt all over the place when lit? Told ja I don't know anything about them As far as looks go. Well yours are making me feel hungry!I suppose I'd try and make the white icing top fit completely over the base. See how your base is exposed round the edges? Just a minor thing though.I think you've done a pretty good job overall! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcroome2005 Posted October 5, 2011 Author Share Posted October 5, 2011 Tracy-- that is what I was thinking with container wax , that it would melt all over.. But I thought I would give it a try and see how they burn. Your right about making sure they touch the edges. This is a lot of work for someone who has tennis elbow on her left elbow and tingling throughout her whole hand LOL It's why I am thinking about going to a complete mold for this.. But I just love the look of " natural " vs mold.. hmmmThanks for your input Greatly appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitn Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 What about some fine glitter on top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcroome2005 Posted October 6, 2011 Author Share Posted October 6, 2011 There is fine glitter on the back two. I think I am going to scrap the idea of doing this myself and going to get a mold over the weekend from http://www.flexiblemolds.com/Cupcakes.htm I am looking at Frilly Cupcake1 Moldalmost 2 1/2" tall x 1 3/4" across the bottom $12.95 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grama Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Making me hungry, looks like ice cream to me which is a pretty good idea!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moon01945 Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 i know nothing about wax cupcakes also! BUT what about using a piping tip... Maybe a start tip. I know with soaps people use that for soap cupcakes and it is easier to pipe them out with the start tip and gives it more structure. i would agree that you need wax that will not spill everywhere. Container would be too loose or runny when burned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcroome2005 Posted October 6, 2011 Author Share Posted October 6, 2011 I used a tip but it was super small and of course- never making frosting myself ( always bought my sweets at the store), we didnt have a clue on how to do any of it. Hubby and I laughed the entire time. I have tested and the wick is perfect for the votive/pillar wax but yep, the container wax just started melting right off. The whole fun thing about this is I get to play around and test I usually hate testing like jars/votives because sometimes they can be a pain, but give me stuff that looks like real food and I will test all day Christina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
