5. In another melting pot, melt a mixture of paraffin and soy wax (two to one ratio), and add brown dye and butter cream scent to make both the cupcake base and the crust for the pies.

6. Place cupcake liners in a muffin pan and pour the wax into the cupcake liners. After they cool a bit, set in the pre-tabbed wick and let harden (figure C). Pour the wax into the tart crust molds and let harden.

Blueberry Pie

7. Melt gel wax in a melting pot for the pies.

Cupcake Frosting

9. Melt paraffin wax in another melting pot for the cupcake frosting.

10. When the paraffin has melted, pour it into a cooling bowl (plastic bowl) that already has a drop of red coloring and strawberry scented oil in it. Stir this with a wire whisk, whipping the wax until it is cool and firm enough to spread on the cupcakes (figure F).

11. Spoon the whipped wax onto the cupcake bases (figure G). Press the strawberries into the soft wax and let them harden. Trim the wicks (figure H).

Martini

12. Melt gel wax in a melting pot for the martini. While that is melting add scented oil to the martini glass.

13. Pour the melted gel into the martini glass and use a wooden skewer to mix it with the oil. After about 5 to 7 minutes when the gel has cooled a little, add a pre-tabbed wick and use the skewer to center it. Add the wax olives using the skewer to push them into the wax (figure I). Let harden.
