Thanks for all the info, that is alot country creek. Where do you guys typically get your supplies? I've seen candle making supplies at michaels, do you guys think they are good? I usually get lots of coupons for them so i was going to pick up a few things there to try to get started. gmp i love cake decorating but i live in florida and i have no friends or family here so no one to order and get the word around for me. I'm not licensed so i really dont want to advertise i was hoping to go on word of mouth but since i know no one its hard to get word of mouth around. I know i can always donate to churches and things like that to begin with but i dont go to church and its kinda weird just to walk in and donate a cake, KWIM? It sounds like it takes more time for candles than cake decorating. with cake decorating its really not so much of a science. You guys definately gave me something to think about. Thanks. Any more help will be appreciated so i can decide if this is right for me.

hi this is my very 1st post, i've been reading a little and i cant believe all the things that you guys make. My hobby is cake decorating but i dont sell my cakes so no $ from that. I am thinking of getting into the candle & soap making business but i dont have much experience at all. I'm getting some supplies this weekend and i am going to try to make a few just to see if i like it and if i have a chance with doing this. so my question is about how much did you guys spend to get started with this. Is it very expensive to start up. I am a SAHM and i wanted to do this to get some extra $ but if its very expensive then it may not be the right thing for me. Thanks in advance & i'm excited to get started with this even if it becomes a hobby instead. :smiley2:
