ladysj Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 What is the easiest and best way to make the tilted layers? Do you wait and let the wax set up a little before tilting or do you pour it in the tilted mold? I tried pouring it in with mold tilted and that wasn't very easy to do.I'm making cup cake candles and was wondering how or what I could use to add sprinkles on top.

dcroome2005 Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 I tilt my small pillars ( 3 X 4 ) in a bowl and pour.. I know that I have seen some people on here that have had made their own device that helps for the tilting process, but that is what I do.For the cupcake thing- I actually use sprinkles from the store and never had problems!Christina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladysj Posted June 25, 2006 Author Share Posted June 25, 2006 Well Kroger's here I come lol and I'll just have to find something to set my mold in to get the tilt. Do you just kind of heat gun the top and then sprinkle them on? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bttrflikiss Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 i tilt before pouring in a loaf pan either sideways or longways for a higher tilt line HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 You shouldn't have to heat gun the layers unless you let them set up too much. I pour with mold tilted .. and yeah, I had something made so I could tilt at any angle I wanted. Some use beans, rice or sand in tubs.

chris77 Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 I've only done a couple....one was in a loaf pan full of rice and the other was in a bowl of beans...uncooked of course! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eugenia Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 I've only done a couple....one was in a loaf pan full of rice and the other was in a bowl of beans...uncooked of course! I do these all the time. I use dried beans in an 8" X 8" pan from the dollar store. I tried sponges, towels, all kinds of stuff. This way is easy, cheap and it works! I use the same method for regular pillars. I wick my seamless molds, so the bottom is not level. I can get it perfectly level on a layer of beans.
