Beer Candles - Green and Otherwise

Tuesday March 14, 2006
St. Patrick's Day is next weekend, though from all of the parades and parties in my city this past weekend, you'd have thought it was a week-long celebration. But I thought what better time to bring out one of my favorite "food" candle projects - frothy mugs of beer! I figure if other candle makers can make candles that look like apples and cinnamon rolls and pies, I can make ones that look like beer. The Beer Candle project uses a combination of candle gel and candle wax. I like the gel better for these because it stays clear and actually does look like beer - bubbles and all. Substitute in a little green candle color for the amber - and you've got Green Beer candles - in honor of St. Patrick's Day - or any Irish or otherwise green-loving person you know. Erin Go Braugh!

And after you're done making candles, check out Top Ten St. Patrick's Day Cocktails by About's Guide to Cocktails, Colleen Graham.
