I had so much fun making candles out of real cherries and it was super easy to create!

- Any cake you love, here’s my favorite cherry cake recipe
How To Make Cherry Candles
To make the cherry candles you’ll start by using the toothpick to make a initial pilot hole through your cherry. Since the wick isn’t firm having an opening to follow through the cherry makes threading your wicks super easy.
After the initial hole is set, thread your wick from bottom to top of the cherry and out by the stem.
It doesn’t need to be perfect to look great!
Once you have all your cherries threaded with the wicks, cut them down to a similar size so they’ll burn at the same rate.
Light up the candles and sing a fun happy birthday to your favorite cherry girlies.
So sweet for a cherry and bow themed birthday party.
