Hand Rolled Cinnamon Bun Candle Instructions

May 18, 2011 by SandraW

Candle making is a fun and rewarding hobby that allows you to create your own personalized candles. One of the most popular types of candles is the cinnamon bun candle, which not only smells delicious but also looks adorable. However, many candle makers are put off by the need for a mold, which can be expensive and time-consuming. Fortunately, Starla from Wicks and Wax has come up with a solution – a tutorial for making cinnamon bun candles without a mold!

Starla’s tutorial is incredibly detailed and well-written, and best of all, it’s completely free! She generously shares her knowledge and expertise, and even offers the option to purchase a kit if you prefer. But don’t worry, the kit isn’t mandatory – you can easily gather the materials you need yourself.

To make cinnamon bun candles without a mold, you’ll need cinnamon roll fragrance oil, candle wax, wicks, real cinnamon, a pizza pan, scissors, and a knife. Starla emphasizes that you don’t need expensive molds to make these candles, making it an affordable and fun project for anyone to try.

By following Starla’s step-by-step instructions, you’ll be able to create your very own cinnamon bun candles that look and smell amazing. The tutorial is easy to follow, and even includes helpful photos to guide you along the way.

So why not give it a try? Head over to Candle Making Instructions: Cinnamon Buns for the full tutorial, and let us know how it goes if you try it! Making your own cinnamon bun candles without a mold is a fun and creative way to enjoy candle making without breaking the bank.

As Starla says,” You don’t need a lot of fancy expensive molds for the cinnamon roll.  Why waste all that money on molds, when candle making can be inexpensive, after all what you really want is fun, not expense.” You got that right. I’m hunting down my cinnamon! See Candle Making Instructions: Cinnamon Buns for the full tutorial and let me know how it went if you try it.

Book Review: Off to the Nursery

One of the best things about the return of warmer weather is getting to plant new flowers and starting the vegetable garden if you have one. Off to the Nursery by Alice Oehr is subtitled “a celebration of gardening, plants and seasons,” and it’s also a celebration of diversity (because gardening is for everyone) and caring for the earth.

The book starts with the work of getting the garden ready for spring, pulling out the old plants and spreading compost made from kitchen scraps. They grab tomatoes and peppers, learn about zucchini and eggplant and explore the tasty world of herbs.

They also look through the seeds, succulents, berries and fruit trees, flowers and aquatic plants, talking about the benefits of different plants and how fun they are to grow. Maybe you can relate to the family buying what seems like way too many plants?

The book was originally published in Australia, so some of the flowers mentioned might not be familiar to your or your kids, but that’s kind of fun, too. You can also use this as an opportunity to talk about which plants in the book can grow where you live and that just like animals, plants have preferred habitats, too.

Illustrations are colorful and the book combines a standard font and a hand written font to make it feel more like a journal about the garden. The illustrations include fun facts and growing tips such as always planting mint in a pot or germinating seeds on a wet paper towel before planting.

If you want to introduce kids to gardening or just talk about what kind of plants can be grown at home where you live (yes to tomatoes, probably no to the kumquat tree), this cute book is a great addition to your spring reading list.

About the book: 30 pages, hardcover. Published 2025 by Scribble US. Suggested retail price $18.95.
