What just happened?

I lit this coconut apricot candle I just made using 6% pumpkin spice fragrence oil and 2 blocks of pumpkin color for the 2 lbs of wax. I heated to 176 degrees and made this cement vessel using Cement-All. The double wicks are CBN-3 wicks from Hive and Honey Candle Company.

This photo was taken 15 minutes into burn. All of a sudden the flames dropped and almost extinguished. Only thing I can think of as I thought I noticed hairline cracks forming a circle around both wicks. Sinkhole underneath possibly? Any advice or criticism is welcome. Thanks for your time and attention.

I also must mention I made this candle today and didn’t cure the candle. Unsure if not curing the candle is the culprit?
