I figured that you needed mashed potatoes with the fried chicken, so I got busy. It even has the indent in it for the gravy. Just heat up your milk gravy or dark gravy colored wax and pour over the potatoes. The potatoes and the corn on the cob are big enough for a candle themselves. You could even use the chicken for candles. I didn't add wick so you could see how real they look. This makes a fun plate. Here is a picture of just the mashed potatoes mold without the gravy.
