How cool is this idea! Stupid question but I need to know how you manage to get the ice mold out of the bucket or bundt pan without melting all the ice? I've seen this done in milk cartons and always wanted to try it. Now that I've seen this, I just might try it out of curiosity! It was 29 degrees when I went to bed last evening so it would certain work. We were down at the cemetery yesterday morning and it was 35 and 37 degrees by time we got back home 3 hrs. later. I would think that a glass container would break from the cold. I saw a sign, regulation at the cemetery(Veteran's cem.)that no glass containers were allow, only metal. but you could certainly do the same in metal I would think. Dont recall how long the battery operated candles last. What about using "glow sticks?" I've seen them inside balloons on Pinterest.
