Found this papercraft. at fccafe.fc2web.com a nice little shortcake
just try to made it

Shortcake is a sweet biscuit (in the American sense: that is, a crumbly, baking soda- or baking powder-leavened bread, known in British English as a scone), and a dessert made with that biscuit.

Shortcake is typically made with flour, sugar, baking powder or soda, salt, butter, milk or cream, and sometimes eggs. The dry ingredients are blended, and then the butter is cut in and mixed (or "combined") until the incorporation resembles cornmeal. The liquid ingredients are then mixed in just until moistened resulting in a wet batter. The batter is then dropped in spoonfuls onto a baking sheet or poured into a cake form, and baked until set.

The most famous dessert made with shortcake is strawberry shortcake. Sliced strawberries are mixed with sugar and allowed to sit an hour or so, until the strawberries have surrendered a great deal of their juices. The shortcakes are split and the bottoms are covered with a layer of strawberries, juice, and whipped cream, typically flavored with sugar and vanilla. The top is replaced, and more strawberries and whipped cream are added onto the top. Some convenience versions of shortcake are not made with a "shortcake" (i.e. biscuit) at all, but a base of sponge cake or sometimes a corn muffin.

Though today's shortcakes are usually of the biscuit or sponge-cake variety, earlier American recipes called for pie crust in rounds or broken-up pieces,[1] which was a variety still being enjoyed in the 20th century, particularly in the South.

Though strawberry is the most widely known shortcake dessert, peach shortcake, blueberry shortcake, and other similar desserts are made along similar lines. It is also common to see recipes where the shortcake itself is flavored; coconut is a common addition.

Have a problem when you burned a candle and the melting is rouining your desk, or chandelier....you afraid if the candles drop because it's to tall...and maybe toud don't even like the colour or the scent...
maybe you can try to make an reffilable candles..the melting won't dropped and i think this is saver..because the container of the candle is a glass.


Fact about candle :
A candle is a light source, and sometimes a heat source, consisting of a solid block of fuel and an embedded wick.

Prior to the mid-19th century, candles were made from tallow (a byproduct of beef-fat rendering). Nowadays, they are usually made from wax. Paraffin wax is the most common, but there are also candles made from gel, soy and beeswax.

A candle manufacturer is traditionally known as a chandler. Various devices have been invented to hold candles, from simple tabletop candle holders, to elaborate chandeliers.

The heat of the match used to light the candle melts and vaporizes a small amount of fuel. Once vaporized, the fuel combines with oxygen in the atmosphere to form a flame. This flame provides sufficient heat to keep the candle burning via a self-sustaining chain of events: the heat of the flame melts the top of the mass of solid fuel, the liquified fuel then moves upward through the wick via capillary action, and the liquified fuel is then vaporized to burn within the candle's flame.

The burning of the fuel takes place in several distinct regions (as evidenced by the various colors that can be seen within the candle's flame). Within the bluer regions, hydrogen is being separated from the fuel and burned to form water vapor. The brighter, hotter, yellower part of the flame is the remaining carbon being oxidized to form carbon dioxide.

As the mass of solid fuel is melted and consumed, the candle grows shorter. Portions of the wick that are not evaporating the liquid fuel are consumed in the flame, limiting the exposed length of the wick and keeping the temperature and rate of fuel consumption even. Some wicks require manual trimming with scissors or a wick trimmer for even burning.


Materials
1 large coffee can (to melt wax in)
1 stock pot (to boil water in)
5 lbs container wax
1 oz candle scent (optional)
coloring wax (optional)
wick tabs
Glass or ceramic containers
Candy thermometer
Something to stir with (you can use kabab skewers, chopsticks, or wooden paint stirrers)

Once you learn how to pour your own candles, however, you can buy permanent glass or ceramic containers and use them indefinitely. Get creative with colors and patterns! When the candle is burned down, simply stick the glasses in the freezer for a few minutes. Since wax contracts when its cold

Step 1
Place your glasses out on a flat surface with a protective covering like paper or cling-wrap.





Step2

Place a wick tab in each glass. Secure the metal tab with tape or a piece of softened wax.




Step 3
Fill your stock pot with several inches of water. Place the empty coffee can in the water bath to create a double boiler. (Place a couple of paper towels underneath the can if you're worried about damaging the pot.)

Step 4

Put your wax into the coffee pot and turn the heat on the stove to Med/High. Monitor the wax as it melts. Add color and scent if you prefer. The effect shown in this project was achieved by pouring a small amount of uncolored wax in each glass before adding a small amount of blue coloring. Allow the temperature of the wax to reach the level recommended on the wax packaging

Step 5


Pour the wax carefully into each glass until it reaches a quarter inch below the top of the glass, and allow to cool. Depending on the type of wax you buy, you may need to top off the wax a few times (the wax can contract as it cools and form a small "vortex" shape around the wick).



Try it...I think this is usefull, rather buying and stocking a bunch of candles.....
