    I have found that any show that is juried wants pictures. I did not have any pictures of me making my candles so I sent in some pictures of my workshop or maybe I should call it my work MESS! after seeing those pictures I am sure they believed I make my own candles! I was wondering though, if you do not do shows, where do you sell your candles? Also, where is that strawberry festival you are referring to? I am always looking for good shows. I decided to try my business full time and need al the help I can get to make ends meet! Thanks

    Can anyone tell me what color dye you use for your pie crust. Can you try to be specific as there seams to be a million versions of any color available. Thanks

    how are you planning on getting the different colored icing on them? Has anyone ever used candle paint?

    Do you make items that need a "glaze" or frosting on them? Such as cinnamon rolls? If so what type of wax do you use and how do you get it pure white and not translucent looking? Thanks
  13. NYcandles
    I have a question regarding some wax discoloring. I use either a soy or soy blend that my distributor refers to as creme wax as a glaze over cinnamon buns, breads, ect. After several weeks, the cinnamon roll color will "bleed" into the pure white glaze turning it light brown, or whatever color the candle itself is. I recently purchased some color stabalizer from bittercreek, will adding this take care of that? Any suggestions is appreciated!

    My husband and I are traveling to Ohio this weekend. Does anyone have a good wax supplier in ohio? Thanks
  16. NYcandles
    I am looking for a wax supplier in or near New York, can anyone suggest someone? Also, when a wax says it is good for pillars and votives, if it is a soy blend can you make grubby votives with it? I was not sur eif it would whip to get that grubby look. Thanks

    i just put my first order in with Laura. I think in the long run, when you figure the time it takes to make your own, we are probably spending more than if we order them. Thanks for the help!

    how many of you buy your fruit embeds? I am wondering with the time involved in making my own if it wouldn't be just as economical for my to purchase them. What does everyone think? Thanks
  20. NYcandles
    that's what I thought would be best also. One more question....when you store your candle prior to shows you should not mix scents, correct? Also, does not wrapping cause the scent to diminish?
  21. NYcandles
    You mean wrap them once they're sold or while they are on display?
  22. NYcandles
    I have tried packaging my candles when I do shows and lately I did a couple of shows with my candles not packaged, I just wrap them really well when they are purchased. Can someone give me your opinion on whether to package or not when selling at shows. Thanks!

    Can anyone give me suggestions on what wax to use for my pie crust. currently I am using IGI 1473 (if I remember correctly, I am at work) I currenly get too much of an opaque look. I want a more solid look and I can not get a color consistent or as realistic as I would like. HELP PLEASE! Thanks
  24. NYcandles
    Thanks everyone for the suggestions and words of encouragement! I appreciate the support!

    My sales have been really, really bad at the couple of shows I have done recently. People just do not seem to interested in candles during the summer. My dilema is....I have booked a 3 day, very large show and it is approaching fast. Does anyone have any ideas for some other type of merchandise that seems to be a hot seller in these months so that I can at least make back my expenses? Any and all suggestions are welcome and please keep in mind that with all my money going out and not very much coming in, my budget is very tight! Thanks
