Nice and New: Point à la Ligne Macaroon Pyramid Candle

CasaSugar — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 08:30:30 -0700

Ages ago I wrote a Trend Alert on Yummy Candles, which began with a Point à la Ligne Macaroon Candle Set that was tragically out of stock at Rose and Radish. Like Sofia Coppola, I love all things macaroon: the colors, the taste, the packaging, the hard-to-come-by quality, and their fancy French origins. And, obviously it's in my nature to treasure home décor. So when a macaroon comes my way that will light up my home with girl-y scrumptiousness, how can I resist? Rose and Radish has restocked and is now selling this amazing Point à la Ligne Macaroon Pyramid Candle ($79) that stands nearly a foot tall, and has come all the way to San Francisco from Paris. I've died and gone to confection heaven.

First there were scented candles that smelled like food, and now I'm finding all sorts of cute candles that look good enough to eat.

My salivating began with this Point a la Ligne Macaroon Candle Set ($15), which is currently (and tragically) out of stock. But I've managed to find a smorgasbord of other yummy candles - from fruits and cookies to martinis and olives - that should satisfy any decorating taste.

If my cranberry place card post has you craving more cranberries in your décor this Thanksgiving, have no fear! I'm back with elegant cranberry cups to light up your table setting. Hopefully, you can make room for these stylish votives somewhere between those delectable mashed potatoes and your yummy roasted turkey!

Supplies:

4-6 clear martini glasses or wine goblets
1 12-oz. bag fresh cranberries
4-6 votive candles (tea lights)
Greenery or flowers, if desired

Here's how:

Fill glasses 2/3 full with fresh cranberries.
Nestle a votive candle on top of the cranberries.
If desired, garnish with a few blossoms or sprigs of greenery.

**Note: Be careful to keep lit flames from directly touching the cranberries; the heat of the flame could cause the berries to burst.
