Vicky_CO Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 I have but in all honest they looked so bad I refused to take pictures of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luci Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 I made a few out of the same silicone mold I use for my cupcake soaps. But, I've never taken a pic either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holly Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 I want to start learning how to make these as well. I have searched the net and did see some sites with some great looking cupcakes! I don't have a clue how to make them though or how they should burn. Does anyone here make these? I would like to buy one that is made properly, so I at least know how they should burn. I am still unsure if they are supposed to tunnel down or if they are to be burn in something snug enough so when it runs over it is confined in a container. ??

Luci Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 The few that I made were small--@ 2 x 2.5 about the same as a real cupcake. I had no problem wicking and getting a complete burn without a major tunnel. I just don't have a market for this kind of candle, but I make one every now and then for my niece cause she loves them.

I have heard that some uses dishes but they look too shallow and not snug around the cupcake. This is where I am confused. Not sure if there would be a market for them here either.

Ring of Fire Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 I don't make them anymore but found one picture. If you wick them correctly, they will burn right just on a flat candle plate. It is no different than a pillar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barncat Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 I made over 500 so far this year, I make them in 3 sizes plus now a tart. They are fun to make...except they make you hungry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeagleBaby Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 I use pillar wax for mine. I line the cupcake tin with cup cake papers and pour into them. Honestly I have burned hundreds right in the cup cake papers. Have not had one paper burn . The papers are made to withstand oven temps ..sooooo. Give it a try and see what you think. I have sold many of these and this is the way my customers burn them also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AAngels Posted June 15, 2008 Author Share Posted June 15, 2008 Love the awesome picture!!Where do u find the molds? Oh, I see u use regular cupcake tins, but how do u get them to look like the picture.Cupcakes seem to be a trend right now, in bakerys specializing in them only, knitting them also. So I thought I would try them soon. I don't have a mold.Any info. would greatly help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
