Render your piece to an AIFF file within Live. (Read the manual.) Repeat for all your pieces. Make sure you know where on your hard drive you rendered them, where the AIFF files are located.
Within iTunes, pull down the File menu and select "Add to Library..." Select the AIFF files you rendered.
This adds your work to the iTunes library.
From here, you would Option-select your pieces and make a Playlist from them, just as you would with multiple MP3 files.
Then you pop in a CD-R, and then "click and burn" the Playlist to disc, as usual.

To answer an off-forum question, if you want more control over the layout of the end product, then use Toast with Jam, instead of iTunes.
iTunes forces breaks between tracks and has no mastering capability, whereas Toast w/Jam (while not free) does offer more power over the end result. If you want to do a seamless mix disc, for example...

This software is especially useful (perhaps indispensable) if you have more than one track you want to burn to disc.

...Or More Simply
Just locate the AIFF file and then drag and drop it onto iTunes...
