Flaming Hearts:

- Aluminum foil
This is how you do it:

- Pour the melted wax into the cookie cutters
- Let it harden just a little bit then place the candle wick in the center of the cookie cutter - use the toothpick in order to keep the candle wick in place
- Let everything cool down

Sweet Hearts of Sugar:
- White Sugar
- Green Food color (or Pink ,.... or Red)
- Heart shaped ice cube tray (Silikon**)
- Spoon
- Small Bowl
This is how you do it:
- Mix the sugar with a small amount of water, just enough so it is sticky but not too much so it will melt the sugar (for 200 g sugar ca. 1 tsp water) mix throughly
- Take part of the sugar and add a few drops of the food color, keep stiring until you are happy with the color - Remember: The color will be lighter once the sugar is dry
- Take the Sugar "sauce" and pour it into the Ice cube tray - push everything down really well
- Let it dry over night
