Snow Day Ice Candle

In order to create the candle, I put water into a snowball maker. The icetray consists of 4 round molds.   After letting the water freeze, I took one of the ice spheres and carved a circle into the core of the sphere to make a place for the candle. 
However, after this process, the outside of the sphere was still scratched and not transparent. In order to make the outside of the sphere clear, I used a lighter and hot water to melt away the imperfections in the ice, similar to how ice is resurfaced in an ice-rink. 

The final product
