Step 1: Gather all of your supplies

-double boiler and/or a pot with water
-container to hold melted wax (i bought one with a pour spout for convenience)
-wax
-silicone mold (I bought mine off ebay from seller sculpturesinsoap)

They also had this really cute heart cupcake mold

-fragrance (I used birthday cake fragrance from AAA Candle Supply)
-coloring wax

Step 2: Put a chunk of wax into the melting pot with the desired amount of color until melted into a liquid form. Add fragrance as needed (1 oz per 1lb)…

Step 3: Wick the mold

-poke hole into center of bottom of mold

-place waxed wick through the hole so it sticks through

-use a “wick centering device” or make a ghetto one with 2 sticks and a rubber band (as shown in picture) to hold it up straight

Step 4: Pour the melted wax into the mold to the desired level - I poured one color until it reached the end of the muffin top

Step 5: Put in freezer to chill if you want it done quick, otherwise just set it on the counter to harden.

Step 6: Pour the next color in to the top of the mold

Step 7: Put in freezer again or set aside to harden

Step 8: Once hardened, you can just “pop” the cupcake out of the hole. Grab the bottom (open side) of the mold and gently peel back the mold - the cupcake should just pop out like you’re birthing it (haha)

Step 9: Trim wick to desired length.

Step 10: Step back and revel in your DIY-awesomeness.

Et Voila! A delicious cupcake! (not to be consumed! )
