How to Make Candle Frosting

[@jodioliver6357]

I'm loving the drizzle, it adds definition to the piping but looks good without too. X

Hi @jodioliver6357! I’m glad you love the drizzle! I agree-it really adds that extra bit of detail and makes the piping pop, giving the candle a more finished look.

How did you make the drizzle?

[@SummerRainDIY]

The drizzle is just a little bit of soy wax left over from the base candle. I melted it and drizzled it on top for decoration

Hi does your drizzle lose its colour after a few weeks? This has been happening to me

[@SummerRainDIY]

Hi @slayy_kayy1435! Great question! If you're using a high-quality fragrance or colorant, the drizzle should maintain its color over time. However, some colors can fade with exposure to light or heat, especially if it's a natural dye. To help preserve the color, keep your candles in a cool, dark place when not in use. Let me know if you have any other questions-I’d be happy to help! 😊✨

Do you use labels for your candles? If so, which do you use , where do you buy them or create them?

[@SummerRainDIY]

I actually use these candle jars that came with the labels. amzn.to/49IFegG

My frosting Keeps cracking, what Can I do? Also when doing the base it cracks

[@SummerRainDIY]

Hi @nataliagb24! It sounds like the wax might be cooling too quickly, which can cause cracking. Here are a couple of tips to help: For the frosting: Try lowering the temperature of the wax before whipping it. If it’s too hot, it can harden too quickly and crack. Also, make sure you’re whipping at the right consistency-too thick can cause cracks as well. For the base: Ensure you're pouring the base wax at the right temperature (around 130-140°F for most waxes). If the wax is too hot when pouring, it can cool unevenly and lead to cracks. Let the wax cool slowly in a draft-free area, and this should help prevent cracking! Hope that helps! 😊 Let me know if you try these tips!
