Thanks everyone! I appreciate it Some great suggestions!

Thank you! I've started a list, LOL. Great suggestions! Keep 'em coming

I actually thought of that, but I don't smell any "cake". A little bit of buttery dough, but more sweet vanilla than cake. Thank you though!

Okay, so I normally don't struggle with renames, but for some reason, I've drawn a blank with DS Vanilla Delicious. Here's the description: Delectable French Vanilla with hints of warm sugary syrup, freshly baked batter dough with hints of powdered sugar. Any thoughts? Vanilla Delicious just doesn't seem to fit, I'd like to go for something a little more "bakery-ish", LOL. Thanks!

Thanks! Mine didn't have that plate! I appreciate it!

I've got a customer who's concerned that my tarts might not melt in her warmer (hers is a 25 watt). I test all mine on Jackel electric warmers, but can't find what Watt they are. I've emailed them, but it's Sunday and I probably won't hear back until tomorrow, so I thought I'd ask on here : ) Thanks!

I'm having the exact same problems. BUT...I'm wondering if maybe it's the FO formulation changes that might be causing the problem?? I know so many suppliers have changed to phalates free (and no, I have no idea what a phalate is, LOL). I'm wondering if that is affecting the wick performance? That being said, I have zincs from BCS also...ordered probably 8 months ago...and am having the same drowning/ashy top problem. It's so frustrating. I too use parasoy. I've tried every wick in the book, and have found zincs (up until now) to be the best. Not very helpful, just wanted to let you know you're not alone. Please keep us posted if you find any solutions.

Bug...I tried your store last night and it didn't work. It kept saying No Internal Rates or something like that. Must've been the USPS site. Glad it's fixed now! Phewww!

I'm so mad. I sent out my monthly newsletter this afternoon...only to get customers complaining that my shipping calculator isn't working. I checked out a few other DIY estore customers and their shipping isn't working either. I'm pretty sure it has to do with USPS being down, but darn this is a bad time of year! I'm losing orders here. Just thought I'd give other DIY E-store users the heads up. Very frustrating.

Just curious...how would you get the old wax out to put in a new tart?

I don't know why I can't come up with something! I don't like to do duplications, so I want to rename Downey Rose and Violet. It's got a small floral kick to it, but it definitely has a clean kick too. I don't sell alot of florals, so I want my customers to know this is not overly floral. It's a great fragrance. Any suggestions for a rename? I'd really appreciate it!

Duh! Thanks so much, Carebear!! I don't know why I didn't think of the obvious (I figured it must be something I'd changed). I really appreciate your suggestions I'm making a batch in the morning and will definitely give both suggestions a whirl!

I've been making these for quite awhile and have had no problems. However, the last 4 or 5 batches I've made, there is moisture sitting on top of the melts. There's like little drops of liquid on top of each melt. They aren't in the freezer more than 20 minutes, I've tried cutting back on the FO, I've used tried and true FOs that have always resulted in beautiful results, tried different brands of cornstarch....nothing works, they all have the moisture on top. It's so frustrating. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'd greatly appreciate it, I'm pulling my hair out here. Thanks!

Thank you for the suggestion of Candle Science. I did place an order with them for a slab, so we'll see how it does. The BCS and Peaks 4794 was the same....awful...but they both purchase from the same manufacturer and it is possible it's from the same lot (the BCS wax didn't have a lot number on it). I'm so unbelievably frustrated right now. Thanks for the help.

Thanks everyone. Peaks doesn't even have it on their site anymore. I'm wondering if they got more complaints than just mine. I sent them samples of the wax yesterday, so we'll see what they say. Meanwhile, let's hope that BCS' 4794 is okay. *Sigh*
