Make the top layer flame text fully white, copy it to a layer above. In the above layer, blur it slightly to give it a glow.

step 6 of 7

Create a new layer under all the flames and use the brush tool with a slightly more orange hue at about40% and add some orange glow to further bring out the foreground text.

Creation of Flame: Step 6

step 7 of 7

Merge the the flame layers and resize to a proper flame size.

Using the smudge tool at about 50%, further smudge out the edges of the text. There shouldn't be any straight edges really. Going in close helps. Just zoom out every once and a while to make sure your letters are still readable!
