The Piña Colada is one of the most famous tropical cocktails, traditionally made with rum, coconut cream, and fresh pineapple juice, blended into a smooth frozen drink that instantly brings island vibes to mind. The scent in this candle captures that same experience — bright, juicy pineapple layered with creamy coconut and a soft tropical sweetness that smells just like the first sip of a cold Piña Colada on a warm beach day. ~ AJ The Candle Chef

Want to make your own Fruit Loop molds as big or as many as you like?

I just released some Fruit Loop models so you don’t have to deal with skinny, breakable Fruit Loops while making your molds.

FRUIT LOOP MODELS

One of the most expensive parts of making Fruit Loop candles is molds.
Normally, you need a separate mold for each color, which adds up fast.

With models, you can:

Make as many molds as you want

Make molds any size or depth you prefer

Control your silicone thickness for durability

Mass produce Fruit Loops on your own schedule

Reduce long-term costs instead of constantly buying molds

You’re no longer locked into fixed cavities or fragile cereal pieces.

FRUIT LOOP TEMPLATES (FOR BUSINESSES)

For those running a business or wanting to sell silicone molds on Etsy, I also released Fruit Loop templates.

The templates are a pour-and-peel system:

28 cavities

No layout work

No shifting

Just pour silicone, let it cure, peel, and reuse

They’re designed to make mold production fast, clean, and repeatable.

Both the models and templates are now available on my Etsy.

These pair directly with my Fruit Loop recipe and live demo, so you now have the full system:

If you’ve wanted to improve your painting, learn how to place the bun so it looks natural, or simply enjoy creating dessert candles with a group, come join me. Let’s create some beautiful dessert candles together.

DAILY CANDLE LESSON #2 — CRUMBLE TIP!

Get perfect dessert crumble every time — realistic, crunchy, bakery-style texture.

The perfect crumble wax is straight paraffin. IGI 4625 is a great choice for clean, dry crumble.

Pour 1–2 inches of melted wax into a small Tupperware or container.

Add 1 drop of chocolate brown dye for a tan graham-cracker crumb look.

When the wax becomes semi-solid, start forking it continuously. Break it apart over and over until it’s completely cool and forms small crumble pieces.

Once cooled, put a lid on it and store it until you’re ready to make a cobbler or any dessert-style candle.

Enjoy your crumble!

Fragrance: Brazilian Coffee with Pure Sugar Cane.

One of my favorite coffee fragrances, it smells like fresh brewed coffee with just the right amount of sweetness.
