You must first bring the ember to Andre of Astora and give it to him. Then go into his menu and choose "modify equipment". Here he will ascend +5 weapons to +6. Once you get a +6 weapon, you can upgrade it the rest of the way to +10 yourself at any bonfire or blacksmith.

Every ember must be given to the appropriate blacksmith to allow that blacksmith to ascend weapons down that path. Any time a weapon reaches +5 (or +10 down the standard path), you must bring it to a blacksmith to upgrade it further.
