Thank you! The embeds are bears, which are pecan pie scented (the same as the bottom of the candle). The idea of putting wax paper inside the jar around the sides sounds good, and I know now I need to bang out the air pockets - that will help a lot! I am trying to do something new and different, it is just so detailed when you try to get it to look just perfect.

Thank you all so much for the advice - I like the idea of "banging out the air pockets". I know in the first one I made, when I burned it the top part burnt down really fast, which was probably all the extra air. Also, I don't know what happened to the picture I posted, but I'm going to try to repost it now....??? I'm going to try using a pastry bag to get the whipped topping in where I can surround but not cover the embeds. I'll let you know how that goes, say a little prayer for me!

Hello! I'm so glad I found this forum, I hope you all can help me as earlier today I wanted to throw all of my candles outside! I am new to making soy candles, and have started using 16 oz jars to make these. I had this awesome idea, to put the main fragrance on the bottom of the jar, filled about half way, let it cool and then to add whipped wax for "frosting" on top. The problem is, I also would like to put wax embeds in the middle of the bottom part of the candle and the "frosting" on top. I have accomplished this once (please see picture) and it has been a once in a lifetime achievement apparently. Argh!! I can get the wax whipped perfectly, but have been putting it in the jars with either a spoon or my hands. This leads to either a lot of wax streaking on the sides of the jar (covering the embeds) or wax dripping all over the front of the embeds covering them up. I just want them to show and it's been such a battle!! Please let me know if you need more info from me - I hope this makes sense, it is kind of hard to put in "typed" words. Thank you so much!
