The Lost Cone
The familiar has a special power in terms of our relationship with object. In this case it operates on two levels: one the edible cone is transformed into a solid, cast object, and two the spoon is transformed into a candle, referencing a birthday or a celebration. The lost cone was cast in silver in an organics burnout. Thus it is a "lost cone process" analogous to the lost wax casting process.
