Make a Basic Pillar Candle
By David Fisher, About.com
When the candle is completely cool, you can unmold it. Turn the mold upside down and tap the bottom gently. The candle should slowly inch its way out. If it seems to be sticking, you can stick the mold in the freezer for 10-15 minutes. Unmold the candle, handling it gently, and remove the wick pin.
