About

The magic of these edible candles is the edible sliced almond wicks that not only bear the shape of a flame, they also can be lit with a match because of the oil contained in the almonds.

It’s also attractive to make the flames out of marzipan, tinting them with red food color.

Candles can be made any size or color, twisted just like wax candles, and even brushed with edible gold or petal dust (see Gold). If the candle is large, however, push a plastic drinking straw up through its center for support. That way it can remain upright and straight. Shape by rolling marzipan into a log.
