Creme Brulee

I made this little creme brulee as a pincushion for my sister Shae's birthday. She always requests creme brulee for her bday dessert rather than cake!
This little thing took a lot of patience and many many mistakes before it held its shape. Secret - I used a 2x6 strip of plastic from a kitchen chopping mat to make the base stand up.
Also, the bottom is filled with rice to make is heavy enough to be a functional pincushion.
I did not write a pattern but I can jot something down quickly if anyone is interested.
