Just peal an orange. Cut it at the ecuator. Carefully loosen the skin from the inside and twist. That way you wont break the soft white stem which will act as a thread in your new orange candle. Let the orange "thread" dry a bit before proceeding.
Pour some vegetable oil in the orange.
And light it!
Congratz!! Now you know how to create an orange candle all by yourself which will make your room smell like a bakery! Happy burning!
Hope you like it!

This is quite fab, I am going to try this! It's ingenious to use the pith as the wick!!
Wow! This looks amazing! You put oil on the center orange "wick", too, right?
yes, but the oil will travel everywhere by it's own too. The important part is to let it dry first otherwise it has too much water in it and refuses to burn.
Cool trick, but I would not recommend to replace all the oxygen with any other gas. It might prove quite inhabitable athmosphere for us humans.
Yes, exactly. But normal candles don't have much scent or are artificially flavored. I'm trying to raise awareness so the last breath one takes is a pleasant one.
Well I was trying to be funny. Sorry if it didn't work out.
me too :D
