hugginsluvins Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 I am very, very, very new at the candle making thing! My husband bought me a starter kit with 10 lbs. of soy. I really, really, really want to make bakery candles. Has anyone attempted these kinds of candles with soy? My husband melted down a candle he bought at walmart and made a cinnamon roll with it and then we tried it with the soy wax. I am not sure if I like the texture of soy wax for this type of candle. Has anyone attempted to whip soy wax. I tried it and it gave a really smooth almost like frosting look. The other wax sort of looked crumblie like the top of muffin or bread which I liked. Can you get the same effect with soy? I am playing around with it so far but any helpful pointers anyone can share would be greatly appreciated.

joyofsoycandle Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 If you use soy for bakery candles I would make sure its a pillar wax. Ky votive pillar wax is great! Im not sure about the whipping. I tried it once, it was really creamy. Maybe someone else will jump in with some info on whipping wax. I think whipping the pillar wax should work more like you want it to. Hope that helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
