Hello,


ive tried searching and the closest/best explanation I can find for what I'm trying to ask is this...


http://www.cakecentral.com/forum/t/640607/fondant-candles


im wondering if anyone has tried this since then since it's an older post.  Also if I'm only doing something like the number Birthday candles and using it for only a few seconds would it melt the fondant? Would gumpaste work better?  Or would it be better just to buy a number candle and doctor/paint it differently then the typical plain blah-ness?


TIA

........... only doing something like the number Birthday candles and using it for only a few seconds would it melt the fondant?.........

haven't tried it but sounds very interesting.  I think one will need to do some testing.  Why not take a piece of dried fondant or gp, attach a piece of wick and light it off.  I'm thinking it will melt but maybe not catch on fire.......especially if you can make the wick w/in a round/shaped fondant/gp 'candle' so that there is an indentation away from the wick..... hope you can understand that.
