girlnextdoor Posted November 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 joanncat,thanks for your reply.. this website is one of the sites I came across when researching. I love these things! However, I can't find the information on HOW to do them. I know that the containers can be found at Sam's.. they are little plastic condiment containers.. but how do u pour? what instructions for use etc. any idea?

*Dee* Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 the ones at sams wont work cuz they arent the polypropelene.. i get mine from gordon food service they have to order them for me. all you do is instead of pouring your wax into molds for tarts you pour right into the cup and when its cooled you pop the lid on. I had some cups listed in the classys on here that never sold. ill pull up the link for you if your interested.http://www.craftserver.com/forums/showthread.php?t=84831 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
girlnextdoor Posted November 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 Dee,Thanks.. I am def looking for some and I am grateful that you caught me before I went out and purchased the wrong containers.. I would love to see what u have for sell HOWEVER, I am a newbie to the forum and I am not yet able to access certain priveleges. According to the info I got from the moderator I have to have 8 posts and be in the forum for atleast 30 days before I can have access to PM system, profiles, attachments, Marketplace or Off-Topic sections.. Do you have any other way of getting the info (pictures, prices etc) I can give you my email if that is permissable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bugtussle Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 How is it possible to sell those for $1.00. What a rip-off. We use those for free samples for our Fundraisers. Carole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*Dee* Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 Carole i sell mine in the 2 oz container for 1.50 and they actually sell very well for me. they are single tarts, why wouldnt you sell them ?? they are alot easier to deal with than the single tarts there isnt any molds to clean you just pour in the cups and pop the lid on when cooled.

MarsBars Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 I agree. I've been selling mine cups for about 3 years and they are SOOOo much easier. They sell quite well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bugtussle Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 OK, I guess you've sold me. I pour in clams and don't fool with the tart molds either. Shooters is just a strange name. Carole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaroleWhat do you mean a "rip-off"? Sounds too cheap to me. It's ok for some company's to make money for their time and expenses but home made?

bugtussle Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 Sorry, Sharon. I take it back. We're just used to those being samples. Carole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerJill Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 Shooters is just a strange name. CaroleI have one account where the gal always calls them truffles. I don't know why. I always refer to them as tarts so it makes me smile when she calls up to place her order for more truffles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
girlnextdoor Posted November 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 I agree-shooters is a bit "different" but to each their own.. If my experimenting goes well and I decide to go that far I won't be calling them shooters.. I was thinking just plain ole "soy melts":p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanceandcoco2009 Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 Is their another website other than the one listed here that sells those containers? TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laceyones Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 What a good idea for sample scents...I was way over thinking the whole container idea and never thought of the disposable little cups! THANKS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
girlnextdoor Posted November 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 :confused:I'm on day 2 of searching local stores for the polypropelene containers... exhausting! I have found the size just the wrong material!! any suggestions!?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerJill Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 I get them from webstraurant.com I don't know about all the different sizes and shapes but the 1 oz ellipso are polypro. Search for them under "portion cup". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
girlnextdoor Posted November 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Thanks FarmerJill. I found the ones that I need on this site after looking all over oklahoma city... I was hoping to find a local store.. I just can't believe that I'm going to pay almost 12.00 for shipping on an item that costs 2.29:angry2: Ridiculous...oh well.. I guess the bright side is that they have them and I don't have to buy 3000 of them.. lol.. they come in packs of 125. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lsbennis Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Do you use the 1 or 2 oz cup? $1.00 for a 2oz tart doesn't sound too bad to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarsBars Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 You can get them from the web restaurant store online too. I sell 2 oz for $1.25 or 1 dzn for $12. I sell quite well with the dozen pricing. I call mine tarts and sell them online and at shows. I usually prepackage my holiday tarts in dozen bags so it's easier. If at a craft show I display in bins and people can just choose which ones they want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
