Looking for a good candy cane to replace Berts. I use J50.

Any ideas?

General rule is whole sale is X2 your cost, retail is X4 your cost, but again I say general rule.

Most stores are going to charge X2 there price, so thats what I wholesale them for, I like my price at craftshows to be the same as the stores that carry my line.

As far as minimums on orders, thats up to you. I have two stores carrying my candles and I do not have a minimum, but they know to order a few cases when they place a order.

I would scale back a little on the glitter. it looks like a little too much to me.

I always thought that food was ok to use... I have always been wanting to put sprinkles in my bday cake, or sprinkle cinnamon on my cinnamon candles...

Maybe I should invest in candle safe glitter...

:rolleyes2

Dont know about sprinkles, but Ive used cinnamon with no problem.

No, I like the top, you did a good job! The glitter dosent appeal to me, but thats just me, overall NICE!

right now since I'm just starting out Hobby Lobby is the only place I know of that has products I need without having to pay for shipping.

at

$3.00 for a 1/2 oz bottle, you can order 1oz samples from candle science (and others as well) for less including shipping.

I tried some candles that looked like cinnamon buns that I hand rolled about 2 years ago, gave some out to test, one lady said her grandson tried to eat it.

OMG! Flicker, this is something I wanted to do for years, but all other ideas failed, misderably. just followed your instructions, and perfect!!! Did red and white candy cane, just what I wanted (but of course I didnt use wood wick, that may come later)

THANK YOU!!

Good news! CS posted on there FB page that smoke and odor should be back in stock monday!

Then I guess its too late to get in the Co-Op?

I have actually worked for Bitter Creek for 11 years. I do all their Tech Support. But I have been making candles and bath products for closer to 20 years. I own and operate my own candle and bath company as well. It's kinda fun because literally every bit of my income comes from doing just what I love!

Being able to work at what you love is the greatest! Congrats!

Im old school, still like Harvest and home sweet home. Just love anything with cinnamion.

I use to get the 12oz 12side jar from candle science and really liked them, no hang up issues at all, but they quit carrying the 12 oz size, so I switched to the 12 oz hex.

I had Natures garded cola FO years ago, I liked it smelled great, but did'nt sale good.

I get mine from candlescience and it smell just like the real thing. (I know the real thing, my daughter loves it)

I use to drive to CS for my supplies, but our Courrier at my workplace now picks my order up for me for $25.00, its worth that to me .

Candle science smells just like the real thing.(IMO)

mike, I've always got my samples except one time when I forgot to request them, just wanted to let you know that y'all rock!

It use to be posted on there web site (at least it was when I first started ordering from them) I dont see it now. IMO it is a good idea to send the samples, I know I've ordered some FO's that I wouldnt have because I liked the samples.

Got my last order from CS last week and got the sample I requested. I've always requested samples with my orders from CS (there one of the main co. I order from).

In the past, someone has done a co op on these, maybe someone will in the future?

$9.99 is still cheaper than others.

Maybe her sugar cookie candle smells dead on to a sugar cookie that your friend just assumed she used sugar cookie mix.

Sounds like "wet spots", learn to accept them, some people warm the jars to minimize them. they seem worse during the winter months.

As my daughter would say, OMG THOSE ARE AWSOME!

OK Bert, got my scents last week, and because I was wanting to try pink sugar and was needing some love spell, I had to order from another supplier. If only I had known.
