Is Solas' Be Delicious a good dupe? I haven't seen anyone mention it yet :undecided

They had free donuts?

No wonder they went bankrupt then LOL

I ordered back in April and never got my mold or my money...i'd love to know how to shut them down! Ebay has suspended them and they aren't allowed to sell their any more so i'm sure that has seriously hurt them financially...i'd like to hurt them even more LOL

I'd love to see the Chocolate Chip Cookies back...i've tried to find a replacement for it but nothing else compares!

I prefer the pillar one myself

oh my goodness...I sure hope you meant bowl and not bowel lol

Congrats on your big break...I was under the impression that in order to sell to chains like that you had to have your products barcoded which can be costly. Did you have to do that or did they just bypass that? If so, maybe there's still hope for the rest of us lil guys lol

The candle source has a Spears Dupe, but I cannot remember which one (if there IS more than one)

Candle Source carries Fantasy

just ordered some samples

Perfect....thanks Vicky, I didn't realize they made bags that large. That will definitely be the route I go.

Thanks Pat...they didn't seem to have what I was looking for but that's a great site!!

How do you shrink wrap 9" gel pies? I'd like to shrink wrap rather than just put it in a bakery box but have no idea what I need. :embarasse

Because of a C&D letter she got, she's got it renamed on her site to

Tahitian Tiare. You could try that one.

I had those dipped strawberries on my site last valentine's day and I couldn't keep them in stock....great job!

Always had good oils from them and great customer service.

How is their shipping to Canada? I've wanted to try them but have always held back thinking it might be a killer :undecided

I don't think it's your procedure that's giving you grief, it's your fragrance. Florals have a tendency to accelerate real quick so that you end up with soap on a stick...ask me how I know LOL. I'm sure if you did this procedure with a different FO you'll see a huge difference in your finished product

whew...thanks! I'm already anxious to get the next batch going...i'm bitten aren't I? lol

Well here it is without the dividers in the mold and out of the mold...i'm assuming the darker spots in the center of a couple of bars are where it's starting to turn dark. I still need to clean it up some but it does smell wonderful

Well after 14 hrs...the sparkle red is disappearing but the oxide is holding up and the base is starting to discolor to a tan :undecided I didn't take into consideration the vanilla in the fragrance oil and didn't add near enough TD. I took the dividers out and it looks good for the most part though...the middle bars have swirls all the way through but the outside edges are only partial, I didn't get my colors all the way to the outer edges in the mold...oh well, good excuse to do another batch lol and it does smell super so all is not lost!

Thanks

It's my third batch of CP and my first time using the reds so i've got my fingers crossed and hoping that the color doesn't morph on me. I'm semi-pleased with the swirl though but practice will make perfect (or somewhat anyway lol) but wow I can really see now why this can be a major addiction!!

I used TD but I don't think I used enough to whiten up the base...it's scented in Sweet Strawberry. It's hard to tell from the picture but it's colored with sparkle red mica and red iron oxide.

Usually it is.....unless they have a website to back up their products, I usually stay clear. The few experiences I had were low grade and weak scents. :undecided

BCN has the yank dupe of cinnamon french toast

Theyre located in Florida....there's a couple of long threads of people that have had problems with them taking their money and not getting their molds....myself being one of them and they have about 15 negatives on ebay in the past couple of months regarding the same thing. Guess they just pick and choose who they want to send to :undecided

Here's a link to the last thread on them:
