Directions:

- 4. The very crucial step is pouring fragrance into the wax. It must be the last step to retain the scent. If added too early when the wax is too hot then its scent goes away. Thus be careful in this one. Start with 5 drops and can increase according to your wish.
- 5. Place the wick in the center when the wax begins to solidify, if the wick falls then it is not ready. Try again after a minute and place it properly. Wait for at least 30 minutes to let the wax cool and solidify which will fix the wick firmly in the candle.
- 6. It should be long enough to reach the height of a frosted cupcake. To secure the cotton wick, pinch the wick into the base carefully. Make sure the wick length is at least 3.5-4 inches.
- 7. Melt the wax, stir them thoroughly, and add fragrance to it at the end.
- 8. Now you need to do the frosting. Take ⅓ rd of the colorant, and apply the same process.
- 9. Pour the wax into silicone liners and let it cool.
- 10. You will need a piping bag for frosting. Melt the same wax in at least a cup and add ⅓ rd of the colorant. Now melt the wax and colorant till they are in liquid form. Stir and add fragrances at least 5 drops, keep stirring.
- 11. Now pour the solution into the piping bag, and start piping continuously. Make sure to do it flawlessly for a better presentation.
