I have to thank @Gerald for the inspiration for this years ornament.  His post on ornaments showed those he has done.

 

This is my version.

 

 

And as usual I didn't stop at two when I could do 60 and pass them out to relatives and friends.

 

Those are super, Dan!

 

What did you use to do the red on the bases?

I use acrylic ink.  It acts like a stain.  I brush it on, it soaks in and leaves no brush marks.  The yellow flames were done with acrylic ink too.  There are many colors to choose from.  Once the color is on I finish them with poly for the shine.  I get it sent from Walmart but the hobby stores have it too.

It's Amsterdam #315 Pyrrole Red.  Picture just for reference.  It goes a long way just like stain.

I was told to ask, "does this mean friends that make cookies"?
