At six and a half months pregnant, I've been having crazy cravings for turnip greens and kit kat bars (not at the same time). So my candle creations this week have been centered around chocolate. I suppose if there were turnip greens that could be turned into some kind of tempting dessert, I would have figured it out by now but when I imagine turnip greens, I imagine them cooked in ham juice with bits of ham. I just can't see how you could make that into dessert.
Yesterday, as I was working on the hot fudge brownie sundae candle, my eight year old son comes up to me and says, "I should've never come over here." I couldn't help but laugh. The children are loving these dessert candle creations but they wish Mommy would make some real desserts.
My house smells like a combination of chocolate, vanilla, caramel and apples right now. It's not working well with the pregnancy but nobody else seems to mind. My first project for the morning was my white chocolate/strawberry/fudge cupcake candle. Then I decided to do an apple caramel crunch cupcake candle. Still no real food.
I've learned that candle designs and real baking absolutely cannot happen at the same time lest you end up with yucky candle tasting real food. Oh well, the little chilies will have to wait a bit for the real cupcakes...maybe the weekend?
