Decorate a cake with candles made from sheets of beeswax and cookie cutters ....
Materials
- Sheets of beeswax, in pink
- Letter-shaped cookie cutters
- Hair dryer
- Toothpicks
- Cotton candlewick
- For each candle, cut out 4 of the same letter from beeswax sheets, using cookie cutters. If the wax is hard to handle, soften it using hair dryer (on low).

- Press a toothpick vertically into 1 stack.
- Vertically press in the end of the candlewick above the toothpick, so the toothpick and the wick meet. Trim wick to 1 inch above the top of the letter. Press second stack of letters down on top, sandwiching toothpick and wick between them; press to join the stacks of letters together.
