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: The No-Brainer Brain Explainer

Human brains are pretty amazing, allowing us to think, feel, create, communicate, move and more. But humans aren’t the only animals with cool brains, as Crab Museum explains in the book The No-Brainer Brain Explainer (illustrated by Bruno Valasse).

This book, aimed at kids in grades 1-4, is colorful and silly but also educational about how brains actually work, with billions of neurons sending electrical and chemical signals around the body.

“Everything we think, feel and experience comes from an electrical relay race, with neurons passing chemical batons to each other,” the book says. “The constant chatter of billions of brain cells creates your entire world.” 

The book compares the brains of mammals to those of crabs (the book is “written” by a crab after all) and notes that crabs have fewer neurons and of course are much smaller, but they have separate parts of their brains that control their eyes and their legs. Crabs are also capable of remembering things, using tools and solving puzzles. 

Some animals’ brains allow them to know more about their world in different ways from humans, such as spiders being sensitive to vibrations in their webs and catfish having an amazing sense of taste, with taste sensors all over their bodies. 

It notes that 95 percent of brain activity goes toward things we do unconsciously, like breathing, walking and catching a ball flying toward us. It also talks about dreams, memory, how our emotions try to predict the future, where brains came from and fun facts about brains. For example, did you know a sperm whale is believed to have the biggest brain of any creature that’s even lived? Their brains weigh 18 pounds, compared to just 2.5 pounds for humans. 

Information on what creatures have the smallest brains, the toughest brains, the most brains and those who actually eat their own brains will delight kids (and maybe gross them out a little bit). They’ll also enjoy learning about the mycelium network of fungi, which is like a brain without a body, and slime molds, which are like a brain without a brain. 

It ends talking about why human brains are so special because we’ve found ways to work together, communicate and build communities on a scale bigger than any other animal. 

Kids and adults alike will enjoy this colorful, silly and informational book about brains!

About the book: 64 pages, hardcover. Published 2026 by Wide Eyed Editions. Suggested retail price $19.99.
