litefut Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 I'm considering making tarts in a 2 ounce soufle cup (the kind you get from Sam's Wholesale) and was wondering if I had to spray the cups with pam or some type of release. Also, where can I purchase the electric warmers at a decent price? Or do you sell your tarts without the warmers? I would think you should have the electric warmers to sell along with the tarts but I know this can become costly. I saw a lady selling these at Canton, Texas and her booth was BUSY..... Thank you!!

justrightcandles Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 You do not need to spray the cups. they should pop right out. Make sure they have the number 5 on the bottom so that it does not suck the scent out. I would sell the warmers since you sell the tarts. lots of companies wholesale them. www.levinegifts.com $100 minimum www.candlesandsupplies.com no minimumwww.obiimports.com $100 minimum HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
litefut Posted January 12, 2009 Author Share Posted January 12, 2009 Thanks so much for that important information. I think the cups from Sam's has a 2 at the bottom. Do you know where I can get the ones that have a 5 at the bottom? Also, thanks for the information on the candle warmers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

puddin1970 Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 No you dont need to spray them. I also make them and have had no problems at all. I got mine at a local restraunt supply store - maybe if you have one near you -you could check there. I also take a few (about 5) of the warmers with me to sell. And I sell them and offer 2 free tarts with the warmer. But I have only taken the tarts and also sold them with no warmers - just depends on the booth size I have on what I can take and what I have to leave at home.

MLJ1945 Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Are you all filling these cup full to create a 2 ounce tart?Mary Lou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puddin1970 Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 yes I do. Then I make the label for the top. people like that they can open them and smell them - they are a great seller for me! I was thinking of making the larger ones - but not sure if they will fit the normal burner and not sure how they could cut them in half - etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carol k Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 alot of the warmers will only hold 1oz. or a tiny bit over. you can not depend on the customer to cut them in half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jane42 Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 alot of the warmers will only hold 1oz. or a tiny bit over. you can not depend on the customer to cut them in half.And some of the warmers/burners we have ordered won't even hold the 1 oz. I hate it when that happens because I know they won't realize it is too small until they have wax running down the sides... I need to remember to ask before I order....
