I'm also fairly new to this. I started making candle a while back. I think when you start making candles it should just be for yourself. Even if I wanted to sell them I just don't have the time to do all that testing, and when I started I didn't even go to school, and I was still to swamped with everything to start testing. The very first candle I made was a pyramid candle. The flame was like 2 inches high. I'm glad I never really got it in my mind to sell one of those fire starters. When any hobbiest decides to sell his craft he has to be doing it for a while. I personally think unless you've been doing this for a while (years I'm talking) you should just enjoy them for yourself.
