serenamarie Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 I would like to use cinnamon spice on some primitive tarts I am making, how do you put the cinnamon on? do you sprinkle the bottom of the mold first or something? All I am doing is getting cinnamon all over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 On tarts? Just sprinkle while the top is still a liquid. It isn't going to improve the smell or anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serenamarie Posted April 23, 2009 Author Share Posted April 23, 2009 well they are like primitive tarts that say live love laugh etc ....... i got the mold from flexiblemolds and the lettering is at the bottom. This next batch i put cinnamon at the bottom and sprinkled some on top. Another question I have is how can I make the lettering blackish like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Paint it.Or rub it in. If your saying is on the bottom of the tart, why not just rub your tart down with cinnamon as opposed to trying to get it into your mix? If you insist on it, I'd say mix the cinnamon in when the wax is slushy. Otherwise, just pour the tarts and run the cinnamon on. I'd think something would stick.

serenamarie Posted April 23, 2009 Author Share Posted April 23, 2009 I actually would like to paint them but I didnt know if you could then put them in a tart warmer ? Is acrylic paint okay? Thanks so much for your help and advice, I really appreciate it. I have a cat just like your avatar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mparadise Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 You can mix acrylic paint with candle and soap medium to use on them. It helps the paint stick better and can be found in the same aisle as the craft paints.I have done mini cini melts and dusted the inside of the mold with a little cinnamon without a problem. I am not sure that I would do that with anything wicked (flammability, clogged wick, etc) but it is fine in melts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkymonkey66 Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Take your heat gun and slightly melt the wax, not enough to ruin the candle but just enough to get the wax tacky. Sprinkle the cinnamon on and your done. That is what I do when I make cinnamon sugar donut melts. News paper or an old cookie sheet comes in handy too so you don't get the cinnamon dust flying everywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FarmerJill Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 What I've done before is use a little paint brush to apply spices inside the mold on the features I want to highlight. You have to have a light touch pouring, though, or the spices will just float away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
