Hello candle makers! I have just recently started making candles as a hobby! My interest is in Bakery style candles. I was wondering if anyone has any advice for me. I tried making muffins and banana nut bread and cinnamon buns first from parrifan wax and then from soy. The soy wax when finally whipped (took forever) looks great but I dont like the texture. I have finally decided to go with parrifan wax. I am trying to get new supplies and I am having trouble finding sand colored diamond dye chips. Can anyone give me any advice as where to look for dyes, fragrence, wax and such for good prices? Also any great helpful ideas for making this type of candle would be warmly welcomed. Hugginsluvins!

Any advice I can get is great. Where would I look to get that type? Thanx again!!! :0)

I am very, very, very new at the candle making thing! My husband bought me a starter kit with 10 lbs. of soy. I really, really, really want to make bakery candles. Has anyone attempted these kinds of candles with soy? My husband melted down a candle he bought at walmart and made a cinnamon roll with it and then we tried it with the soy wax. I am not sure if I like the texture of soy wax for this type of candle. Has anyone attempted to whip soy wax. I tried it and it gave a really smooth almost like frosting look. The other wax sort of looked crumblie like the top of muffin or bread which I liked. Can you get the same effect with soy? I am playing around with it so far but any helpful pointers anyone can share would be greatly appreciated.

Hello all! I am very very new to candle making. I was wondering if i should pour my soy wax cooler to eliminate sinking @ the bottom of the silicone mold?
