March Melting Madness...

Cookie Jewel--what kind of burner are you using on your Vanilla Cupcake? I have melted many of them and they last a good 12 hours with a super strong throw. And with my high ceilings that is something, I can tell you. I use them in my 20 watt two piece electric plate burner or my tart tin on a 17 watt candle warmer. I have never had one that wasn't really strong and long lasting. Weird, huh?

 

Trep, the funny thing is I've done the Vanilla Cupcake in two different burners! I have my tealight burner in my office, and the electric in my living room is a 20w. I don't know what it is! Still don't know if YC is all paraffin, that might have something to do with it. I honestly don't get much from all paraffin, that's one of the reasons that I probably won't order from Can Do again. I get 3 hours max before I start smelling wax and I only have 7'10" ceilings! (I know the exact meaurements due to ceiling fan installation in nearly every room! :P

Cookie - I feel your pain! I have had several in a row lately that I have had to stand above to smell. Odd when it happens, one after another!

 

You all must melt one for me today - my bulb burned out on my work melter, and there is no replacement on hand!! I am starting to shake and have sweats already!

 

Counting down the hours until I get home.......

Melting Mommas Soy cherry lemonade downstairs, and China Rain from the Tart Shack upstairs.....

I've had the best results with YC tarts in my tealight melters. I am also a big fan of Can-do!

I've got gramma's cookie jar from gramma fran's fixins in my living room. It's making me get the munchies! LOL!

Oh my, we have a winner....... I've been melting Crosscreeks Cafe Brulot Cookies for over four hours now, and it's so yummy! Great scent and throw on this one. This is the description from the website:

 

Café Brulot Cookies-buttery notes of cookie dough; brown sugar, pecans, dark coffee, cinnamon & cloves..simply delish!

 

This one is a definite reorder!

That's great Jewel. I am glad you were able to find one in your order that you like. Hopefully, you will find more as you melt them.

Tonight I think it'll be Scones and Cinnamon Butter from Crosscreek - the first time for this scent for me. It smells great cold!

 

This morning I was in a hurry and sloshed my melted Apple Crisp tart from last night all over the bathroon floor as I was trying to dump it. There's nothing like trying to scrape up wax with the pancake turner at 6:30 a.m.!!

Had to immediately pop in one of my Candle Haven melts since the order just came~ Since I have been melting coconut type scents, I settled on Coco-Mint Frost: Coconut cream pie with peppermint .

 

Smells great so far after only five minutes in the melter.

Fun morning... hopefully you will have a better time melting this evening...

I totally understand how aggravating that was for you, and I bet you weren't even fully awake yet when it happened. Bummer. Hope the rest of your day is better.

Okay, that scent just struck me - sounds FANTASTIC!

jewel--your nose must just like soy better. I have lots of trouble smelling the soy ones at times,especially from certain vendors that seem to use the same underlying wax if you know what I mean. Paraffin hardly ever causes me trouble which is why Yankee and Can Do are my favorites--they just last and last for me and fill the house. Bizzy B's soy, Beanpod and a couple of other soy companies are the only soy ones I can ever get any good out of . Isn't it weird how our noses could all be so different? Anyway, sorry about the duds--it's so disappointing when you get something all melted and then nothing.

dabba--I have the worst luck if I use tealight burners with my Yankee--isn't that strange? I just marvel at how we all have different experiences with things. What one of us swears by the others think is junk and vice versa. We surely are all different. I guess whatever works for each of us is what we better do. Ha!!

[Candlefind Placeholder 3]

Just changed out the melters--YC Granny Smith upstairs and Bizzy B's Sugared Pie Crust and Tart Green Apple down. Have a great evening all.

Nancy, Yankee and Can-Do are the ones I have the most scent throw and longevity from, as well. Maybe I am a paraffin girl and didn't know it until now?

Melting Blueberry in both melters from McCarleys..Just gave my dogs a bath and no wet dog smell!! I LOVE this company!!!

Melting Pink Lemonade from Bella's, it just started so no throw yet. I also ordered from Can Do today since everyone seems to love those too!

This is one of my absolute favorites from Candle Haven. As soon as I'm done trying all of the scents that are on my "wish list" then I am going to order this in the largest quantity she offers!

I am melting banana pudding from crosscreek. I got the large 2 oz tart and boy it is huge.

I love banana scents. A friend of mine is making tarts as well and she made a creation of Banana with mallow. It is wonderful. :P
