How to Whip Candle Wax (for frosting candles)

[@alishajal]

I run a scented candle business and have been making candles for a while now. You explained it very well, thank you for this video.

[@SummerRainDIY]

Glad it was helpful!

[@nirupachadha6345]

Reminds me of the hurricane candles. Very useful. Didnt know I could pipe it. ❤ Delhi India

[@lchicks236]

Great tips, like the silicone mat.

[@BitterBatter]

I'm probably never going to use this information, I was just curious about how people do it. The silicone mat is a nice tip for cooking though! Edit: I actually showed this video to my mom and got her into making her own candles, thanks for this!

[@SummerRainDIY]

I'm glad you found the silicone mat tip useful for cooking, @BitterBatter! It's great to hear that you showed the video to your mom and got her into making her own candles.

​@SummerRainDIY ..how does it not drip all over when you light it?? Would a taller glass help and just a little on top...I think this is so cute!

[@SummerRainDIY]

Hi @heathertirak6051! Yes, a larger container or piping the frosting lower would definitely help prevent dripping when the candle is lit. Keeping the frosting minimal on top is a great way to maintain that cute look while avoiding any mess. Thanks so much for your comment!

[@leahparr2231]

This candle looks like it smells amazing and looks great!!!!

[@SummerRainDIY]

Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed the video!

[@HollyNikole]

Thank you so much for this tutorial with just one candle! I’m just trying to make home fragrance for myself and this is perfect!

[@SummerRainDIY]

You’re welcome! These candles can be a bit frustrating at first but once you get the piping down, it is so worth it!

[@SadeJackpot]

Thanks for sharing! From one candle maker to another ❤

[@SummerRainDIY]

@SadeJackpot You're welcome! ❤ It’s always great to connect with fellow candle makers. Wishing you all the best with your creations!

[@mywaterfountain]

The video is very helpful. Something that I’ve found has been super helpful for me is practicing with frosting. Especially a whip cream frosting. It’s easy and quick to make and you can get really good piping a bunch of designs and reusing it. Stabilize the whip cream using some gelatin and you could practice with it all day! Another thing that might make it easy is using a professional piping bag. For frosting I find it works a lot easier, and I can only imagine that the wax method is even harder.

[@SummerRainDIY]

Great points! Practice definitely makes perfect, and stabilizing whipped cream with gelatin is a smart way to extend practice time. Wax can be a pain when you are not used to it, but it feels really good when you get the hang of it.

[@tutudar92]

Thank you for this video you’ve gave us how to make and how to deal with what’s going wrong ☺️ with our candles

[@SummerRainDIY]

You're very welcome! I'm glad you found the video helpful. Happy candle making!

[@BeccaL2016]

I just started making candle for hobby and I made messy 😅 thanks for showing how to clean the tools! Cause I need it without making wax every where 😅

[@SummerRainDIY]

You are so welcome!

[@CarmenRodriguez-rj6my]

ThankU, the bag and the tip for the “tip” great idea if you don’t have the regular ones ☺️

What wick did you use precisely.

[@gaildeaner6530]

Thank you so much for this information! You answered a lot of my questions and addressed all my concerns for making my first candle!! A well put together video 💕

[@SummerRainDIY]

You're very welcome! I'm so glad the video helped answer your questions and address your concerns. Best of luck with your first candle-making adventure! 💕🕯️ If you have any more questions, feel free to ask!

[@LydiaNefou-ri1hx]

Can i use bee wax?

[@KidOfMischief]

You know what's funny? I never thought about scooping the wax back out and re-piping it! I just kinda sadly accepted that I hated my piping sometimes haha! Thank you for this, it changes everything!

[@SummerRainDIY]

It does! It can definitely be frustrating when it doesn’t pipe correctly! I’ve had to redo mine more than once.

[@analiarodriguezoficial9090]

You are amazing! You are the best one explain step by step in a practical and easy way! Thank you so much! Looks beautiful! Many blessings

Thank you!

[@ParisSunset]

In Facebook candle making groups they say to stir your fragrance oil in your wax for 2 minutes. Also if your candles tunnel you can just poke holes in the top of your candle and then use a heat gun to melt the top of the candle and it’ll fill in the holes & tunnel.

[@SummerRainDIY]

Thanks for sharing these great tips! Stirring the fragrance oil for 2 minutes definitely helps with even distribution. And using a heat gun to fix tunneling is such a handy trick! I appreciate the advice. 😊🕯️

[@JLNive]

May I please know which piping tip she used for this??!!??? Experienced bakers please respond!!!!

[@SummerRainDIY]

[@chic619]

What temperature? Mine keeps crumbling. I've re-melted it several times

[@kathykat7592]

Use a disposable cake deco bag for easier piping.

[@EnergyWaves0]

Love making these candles

[@Zone8-jk]

Try putting your cup on top of something cold as you whip it.....I use a frozen cutting board. Works like a champ on time trimming.

[@SummerRainDIY]

Oh, that’s a good idea! I’ll have to try that!

[@cupcakecanopy]

Great tutorial. Thank you ❤

Hi there I went to hobby lobby and bought 2 # 233 to do the grass, it didn’t work at all for me.

[@SummerRainDIY]

Hi there! Thanks for sharing your experience. I'm sorry to hear the #233 tip didn't work out for you. A larger tip might give you better results for the grass effect. Keep experimenting, and I hope the next try works perfectly! 😊🌿

[@khoskins6533]

Very informative thank you.

[@SummerRainDIY]

Thanks for watching!

[@despina250]

Thank you for the amazing video tutorial.I have one question.What kind of wax did you use for the whip?I use hard soy wax and it gets super hard until I pipe it all!

[@SummerRainDIY]

amzn.to/3E0chyc Mix it until it holds its form. Then pipe it. If it feels too hard, he heat and try it again

[@florentiaar1962]

I am not good too but I think I ll try to do it with real cream until I get better at it. Thanks! It helps a lot!!

[@SummerRainDIY]

You can do it! It takes some practice but it is a lot of fun!

@@SummerRainDIY Oh thank you.....I am looking to give this a go.....if i get stuck....will definitely reach out....many thanks

[@NashaleeVargas]

At what temperature is best to start whipping the wax??

[@SummerRainDIY]

Great question! For whipping wax, it's best to start when the wax has cooled to around 120-130°F . This temperature allows the wax to start thickening, which is ideal for whipping. Make sure to keep an eye on it to get the right consistency! 🕯️✨

[@Rosescookingandbeyond]

Thank u for this explanation 👏

[@SummerRainDIY]

You're welcome, @Rosescookingandbeyond! 😊 I had a lot of fun making this video!!

[@melissapeterson4202]

So cute! Thanks for sharing! I've wondered how to make whipped wax, but never looked into it yet. So easy looking!! Except for the piping LOL I need practice with my piping.

[@SummerRainDIY]

I also need more practice piping! If you want to practice a bit with the wax, when it cools down you can put it in a bowl and heat it back up a little and try again. You will have to mix it again with the hand mixer to get it back to the whipped consistency.

[@Jay-nh8vy]

I love the way you explain every single detail so slowly just beautiful you should be a teacher plus your candle is beautiful and I’m a make one later tonight

[@SummerRainDIY]

Aww thank you!

[@pattcrenshaw9320]

I've made a few of these now, and can not figure out how to get them to burn with a full melt pool. Do you know if there is a way to have candles with piped wax (frosting) melt fully or will they always tunnel as they melt?

[@SummerRainDIY]

The wax is less structured because it has the air pockets. To lessen this, try using less whipped top. If you find the wick gets more than 1/4 inch, trim it. You can also allow it to burn for a bit then cool, I find this helps.

[@AngeliqueMontoya-io5ue]

Great video!! What do you recommend to use for the essential oils for candle making?

[@SummerRainDIY]

@AngeliqueMontoya-io5ue Thank you so much! 😊 For candle making, I recommend using essential oils with high flash points (around 170°F/77°C or higher) to ensure they blend well and stay safe in the wax. Some good options are lavender, eucalyptus, or cedarwood. Just make sure to check each oil's flash point and start with a small amount to test the scent throw. Enjoy your candle-making! 🕯️✨

[@lucyRamirez3873]

Excellent.Well explain ed❤

[@SummerRainDIY]

Thank you!! :)

[@lindyculp221]

Hi! Can you tell me how you would package these so that they piped part doesn't get smashed? Thank you!!

[@SummerRainDIY]

I would try bubble wrap and an appropriately-sized box that prevents candles from shifting.

[@ShrutiAnilNarkhede]

How are these candle jars closed while selling?

[@SummerRainDIY]

@ShrutiAnilNarkhede If you want to put a lid on the candle, you might need to pipe it a bit lower. I just like the look of the candle when it’s a little overfull-it adds a nice touch! 😊

[@alivia3885]

i have a candle exactly like this i love it!!

[@rubyring2461]

Hi I have wax beads in a box and it was with my oils my coconut oil and I think the other bag is shea butter or something I can't remember anyway a little had melted onto the wax beads I know this because the wax beads best and as I went to put them back in I could feel oiliness the oil on on the beads will I still be able to make candles

[@SummerRainDIY]

Hi! Yes, you can use the wax beads even if some coconut oil got on them. It's similar to making a massage oil candle, where you intentionally add oils to the wax. Happy candle making!

[@Nick-lg6tr]

What kind of wax do you use? Soft wax for glasses or hard wax for wax melts??

[@SummerRainDIY]

For wax melts, I also use a hard wax that's formulated to hold its shape well. 😊🕯️

[@Nick-lg6tr]

@@SummerRainDIY for the whipped candle what kind of wax do tou use? Thank you Katerina

[@SummerRainDIY]

Hi Katerina! For the whipped candle, I use soy wax. Thanks for asking! 😊🕯️

[@bustinwheels]

Q: Love your video first of all. Is the wax still warm when you put it in the piping baggie? I have tried this over and over and it seems to be chunky when I squeeze the was out. TIA

[@SummerRainDIY]

Yes it is still a little warm. You are looking for consistency that holds its shape.

[@rjchannel5442]

I just about to learn how to make a piping frosting.. what happen if the wax is getting harder? Remelt it with double boiler? Thank yo yin advance 😊

[@SummerRainDIY]

Yes, just heat it up a little and whip it again

[@poonamrathore1007]

Do you use white colour also in whipped cream??

[@SummerRainDIY]

I didn't use any colorant in the whipped part of the candle, but you can definitely add white colorant if you prefer.

[@ilyv2design]

when the whipped piping cools is it hardened?

[@SummerRainDIY]

@ilyv2design Yes, when the whipped piping cools, it does harden.

[@kathypowers2850]

Enjoyed watching you make this candle thank you for sharing. May I ask what type of soy is it 6006 for base and 404 for the whip? I can’t remember if that’s the right number for the whip.

[@SummerRainDIY]

I used the same wax for the candle and the whip. Here is a link amzn.to/3E0chyc

[@kathypowers2850]

@@SummerRainDIY thank you! 🥰

[@Hanaataleb-q4g]

Can use palm Wax to get whipped wax?

[@SummerRainDIY]

I haven't tried it with palm wax myself, but you can definitely give it a try! It's always fun to experiment with different types of wax to see what works best for you.

[@LydiaNefou-ri1hx]

Did it work ?

[@hightymezzZZ]

Does it not spill out when it’s burning?

[@SummerRainDIY]

When you pipe it as tall as I did it does. You can put it on something to catch the wax or pipe it lower :)

[@behiivali]

Excuse me i have a question my creame didnt looks like your. When i mix the creame shapes are bad.

[@SummerRainDIY]

When you are learning to pipe it can take a little bit to get the hang of it. If you don’t like the way it looks when you are doing it, you can take it off and do it again. Also, if it starts to harden up too much you can heat it back up. Hope that helps

[@ThePlugin32]

Thank you for sharing- would you recommend hard or soft soy for whipping?

[@denisesmith1715]

I have made some but the coloured wax bleeds a little into the white wax.. how do you stop this?

[@SummerRainDIY]

Make sure that your container candle is completely hardened before you pipe the top. That should prevent any bleeding.

How long it takes to cool down?

[@SummerRainDIY]

It really depends on the temperature in your house. I would say roughly 20 minutes to cool down. The key is to be checking the consistency while it is cooling down.

[@SashandSwapvlogs]

How long a candle takes to dry

[@SummerRainDIY]

The candle takes a couple hours to cool completely. The wax, once to the consistency does not take long at all to cool, maybe 15 minutes.

[@SashandSwapvlogs]

My 50gm mold candles taking more time to cool down like 2 hours. And when I remove it there is some cracks very small cracks and uneven color tones how to correct it can u pls suggest me. Should I use mold spray each time?

[@SummerRainDIY]

What kind of wax are you using? It should not take that long to cool.

[@evelynbrown5951]

[@jenniferbarks138]

With the whipped wax we’ll above the rim, does the wax overflow the container? It looks pretty that way, but don’t want it to dri everywhere.

[@SummerRainDIY]

Yes it does, just pipe it lower if you are worried about it dripping

[@wandajackson3241]

Are you using the container wax?

[@SummerRainDIY]

I am using soy wax

[@Vandalynn]

​@@SummerRainDIYthey are asking which candle wax you are using from that company

[@SummerRainDIY]

This is the wax that I used amzn.to/3E0chyc

[@CroatiaHolidays]

Beautifully explained, and thank you for that ❤️ I have one question, when measuring the temperature of the wax, you mentioned the temperature, but I didn't hear if it was in Fahrenheit or Celsius 🤗 (we use Celsius here) Greetings from Germany 🙋‍♀️

[@SummerRainDIY]

I used Fahrenheit

[@KeewaydinCandles]

Can u do it with coconut soy wax?

[@SummerRainDIY]

Yes

[@nirupachadha6345]

I have a suggestion why don’t you First pipe the rosettes on a butter paper cool it and just place and reset it next to the wick around I wonder if it will work and make it easy. Maybe you’ll have to give a base of whipped wax for the cold rosettes to sit on and adhere.

[@SummerRainDIY]

That's a fantastic suggestion! It's similar to how cake decorating works, and it sounds like it could make the process much easier. I'll definitely give it a try and see how it turns out.

[@beinhandmades6455]

Is it fine to use 100% soy wax for frosting? Because it hardens sooner before we pipe i guess!!

[@SummerRainDIY]

Yes, you can use soy wax. The key to keeping the wax pliable is continuing to mix it. Once you are at a consistency where it starts to hold its shape, then you put it in the piping bag. You do have to work quickly to get it piped before it hardens.

[@rinstravelandlifestylevlog5556]

How come the wax doesn’t get hard ?

[@SummerRainDIY]

The wax does get hard. Regularly mixing it allows you to keep it pliable enough to pipe, but it will fully harden just like regular candle wax.

[@lelandgreen871]

I’m sorry I’m on my husband’s account but I’m a beginner candle maker and I’m love how you broke it down cause piping and getting my strawberries the right color has me ready to pull all my hair out 😂

[@SummerRainDIY]

Yes it can be very frustrating at first. If you don’t like how it is pipped, heat the soy wax up just a little and whip it again. It’s worth it when you see the finished candle tho 🥰

[@Halloweengr4]

I always mess up with design even I'm not good at piping

[@SummerRainDIY]

I totally get where you're coming from! I used to mess up with piping all the time when I first started. In this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/epywdoOBqpmZgtk , I tried out a different approach by making little frosting blobs, and it surprisingly made things a lot simpler. Give it a shot and see if it works for you too!

[@briannabaze4288]

😂 why does it look so yummy? I really want to eat the forbidden icing

[@SummerRainDIY]

Haha, I totally get it! The colors and textures can definitely make it look tempting. But definitely stick to using it for its intended purpose-your creations will look amazing, and your taste buds will be safe! 😄🍰

[@romangajek6945]

I don't understand how everyone make it. My piping bag always gets clogged, and the wax dries so quickly that I can't do anything before it sets.

[@SummerRainDIY]

Great question, @romangajek6945! 😊 Piping candle wax can definitely be tricky! The wax needs to be at just the right temperature-warm enough to pipe smoothly but cool enough to hold its shape. If it’s too cool, it thickens and can clog the piping bag. Hope that helps! 🙌
