LauraInNY Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 I made a slew of hand rolled mini cinnamon buns out of salt dough, baked them and dipped them in scented wax. They look and smell awesome, but now I'm wondering how to package them and what to price them at.I was thinking a mason jar with a domed top and some homespun. I have my potpourri in mason jars with a cloth top and I have candles in 8 oz jelly jars with a rust domed top. I was thinking this may be too much of a good thing. If anybody has any different ideas, please let me know. I have also done some research and pricing, but am not sure on what everyone does that sells better and at what price? I have seen them in quantities of 8, 25 and 50 for all different prices. They are very cheap to make and aren't hard, but it is time consuming to hand roll them. You can get 8-10 in an 8 oz jj. and about 30 in a wide mouth quart mason jar.I got about 8 in a 4x5 poly resealable bag.Does anybody have any suggestions?

prairieannie Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 Yes! I suggest you send me the recipe for your mini cinnis I love your idea of puting them in the jars..I don't think it would be too much of a good thing, but I just love the look of the jars with the homespun. The only other idea I can think of would be the kraft bags with the bakery window on them.. it would depend how big they were I guess, but that might be a cute way to sell 'em!

LauraInNY Posted October 9, 2005 Author Share Posted October 9, 2005 Hi Sharon, Sorry for the delay. Here's the recipe I use:2 cups of flour 1 cup of salt 1.5 cups of waterYou can add molasses or you can add spices to add color (ie cinnamon) You could also just dip it in colored wax. Knead the dough and roll it out. Roll into a long tube like a snake. Then put it on the counter top and start rolling in the shape of a cinnabun. If it's too sticky, add more flour. You can use parchment paper to roll on.Bake at 350 for an hour or so. Watch so they don't burn, but they will get golden brown on the bottom. Then I let them air dry overnight. Then you can melt your wax and color and dip away!! I use cinnabun scent too. The thing to remember is you need to get all the moisture out before dipping. Happy rolling...

StacysScentsations(DH) Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 Ok now i have questions. How big is the average cini mini? Amd could you use fo as substitute for some of the water? or doesnt it work that way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scent Cellar Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 I don't think f/o would work as part of the water as baking @350 for an hour would burn the f/o off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StacysScentsations(DH) Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 Thank you I would have wasted Fo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LauraInNY Posted October 9, 2005 Author Share Posted October 9, 2005 You can make them any size you want. I made mine between quarter and 50cent piece sizes. The beauty is that no two are alike because they are all hand rolled. You can brush on some FO after they are done airing out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindsaycb Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 I make mine unscented...seal them with clear acrylic spray and then put them in scented rosehips & stixs...they soak up the scent that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
