BruceCarvesWax Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 I like the strawberry pie a bunch. Only thing you might do for thewhipped cream is add some T. Dioxide to it and maybe a tiny wee little bit of brown dye to make it more off white and not so see thru.Looks very nice!Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah...I planned to just light them the way they were. I took the pictures right after making them, so I didn't want to trim the wicks yet while everything finished setting up.

Tess Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 The pie looks great, a little messy in some places, but nothing that is overely out there. The tarts I am wondering about though. How is that going to burn? Are you shooting for just the middle? They do look super real though. Something I have always wondered. Is it okay to burn in the aluminum containers that the pie is in, or is that just for display? I think you did a wonderful job!! I would never have guessed this was your first try. Whats next?PS Trim your wicks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawaiiansun Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Good first job, they look good enough to eat chica. I'd leave the antennas. Way to go. :highfive: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terrie Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 I think they look great! So what got you into foodies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trish Posted November 21, 2006 Author Share Posted November 21, 2006 Thanks everyone, I know they need work but it's fun to learn something new. If anything, I've learned to trim my wicks BEFORE taking a picture. Plus I'm going to try to whip my own wax to use for the dollops instead of using ones I made from a mold. Maybe that will work better.So what got you into foodies?I got approved for a big strawberry festival here in April. Even though bakery candles are not something I want to do all the time, I thought it would be fun to take some strawberry type ones to this festival. I have several months to test and see if any of them work or not! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
