In advance, make fondant curls, stars and candle flame. Add 1/2 teaspoon of Gum-Tex to each red, blue, green and yellow fondant.
Roll out each color fondant 1/16 in. thick.
Cut flame pattern in yellow fondant with knife. Cut three large and two medium Star Cut-Outs™
in yellow fondant. Cut remainder of fondant in 1/8 in. strips and wind around lollipop sticks to form curls.
Let all fondant pieces dry on cornstarch-dusted surface.
When pieces are completely dry, draw facial features on candle flame with black FoodWriter™. Attach cookie stick to back of flame and
lollipop sticks to backs of stars with thinned fondant adhesive.
