Abstract
A method of forming a decorative candle. The method comprises providing a candle which is fabricated from a wax material that defines a top surface. Next, a source of heat is applied to the candle until at least that portion of the wax which defines the top surface thereof is melted. Then at least one gelatinous component formed from a mineral oil gel is placed onto the top surface such that the component is at least partially inserted into the molten wax. The candle is allowed to cool thereby hardening the molten wax and securing the gelatinous component. The melting point of the gelatinous component is higher than the melting point of the wax such that the component will not melt when placed upon the molten wax.
