Duncan Hines Crystal TeaLight

A Beautiful tealight, made from Juice Crystals and Duncan Hines Icing

Directions

  1. Pour 75g dry juice crystals into a sealable bowl. Drip 30 drops of water randomly over the top. Do not pour the water or the juice crystals will dissolve. I use a small turkey baster or craft bottle. Shake to coat the droplets. Smush with a spoon until fine, then cover and shake.
  2. Press the crystals at least ¼” thick into a mold. Press it in as hard as you can. Set it out to dry.
  3. The next day, carefully tap the top of the mold and squeeze it gently to release the crystal egg. Let it dry a few days more so it’s solid.
  4. Fill two sides of a large mold. Because there will be a lot of cutting involved, the sides should be pressed a little thicker, popped out the next day, then allowed to dry completely.
  5. Use a miniature screwdriver (scrubbed and sterilized) to cut. Keep your designs small and make sure there is a hole carved in the top of the egg so the flame won’t burn it.
  6. Put a little tea-light in the bottom. Seal the sides together. Decorate, nice to outline the holes.
  7. When you light it, don’t leave it for very long.
