nicksterscents88 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 I made soy cupcake candles,the whipped top isn't burning properly. Its melting way to fast. What am I doing wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barncat Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 it will burn faster becuase you whipped and added air. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlwaysWondering Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 I see cupcake candles on sale on etsy and websites. Does this mean most candles with whipped topping will have this issue? Or is this a wick testing issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It appears they were poured into a mold that has more of a rounded top and there is only a thin layer of "frosting" on top. It appears they are wicked more like a pillar. Never tried making them myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksranch Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 The ones poured using a mold won't have the faster burn issue as they aren't whipped. To me, the whipped ones look more realistic, so that's how I do it. With mine, while the frosting does burn somewhat faster, it's not overly noticeable. You may try a little less whipping - it's hard to tell from a pic but yours looks like you could back off a little to a more creamy texture as opposed to a more 'ice cream' type texture - and yes, be sure not to overwick - since it's whipped it can take a little less according to diameter than if it wasn't.
