Snapdragon2 Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 I've done this before, but it's been a while. I melted a little wax, added a little white color chip and scent and then let it cool. You have to keep whipping it with a spoon or small whisk while it cools. Then spread it on with a knife when it's nice and thick and easy to work with.

ForHisGlory Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 http://www.candlehelp.com/?content=whippedI did this for one of my coffee candles, but I didn't whip it up as much as the instructions here. The cornstarch didn't interfere with the burn time, melt pool or the smell.Love it. Have fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snow Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 I just tried this today, someone here said it a while back. Let wax cool and whip it and then put it in a baggie and cut the corner. You can get a nice look that way! It works great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladysj Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 I've done this before but never added the cornstarch. I'm going to have to try that. I bought some cake decorating tips and disposable decorating bags I want to try this with. Wish me luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wick'n'Wax Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 I've done it a few times. I bought a plastic icing gun for £1.70 from Wilkos (UK). I whipped the icing with my old electric mixer until it was light and fluffy.It dropped itself into the gun. I then iced a few dollops. I did an iced ring on grease proof paper, then when set, lifted it and placed it on the outside edge of a lemon meringue pie and just set it with a few drops of molten wax.You have to work quick, but just remelt, rebeat and off you go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeAndMyPuppyDog Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 What's the point of corn starch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greeneyedney Posted March 27, 2007 Author Share Posted March 27, 2007 no clue bout the corn starch but work good without it:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crafty1_AJ Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 I don't use cornstarch in my whipped wax creations. I just whip the cooling wax with an electric hand mixer. You can whip by hand with a fork, but your arms will fall off before you're done. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForHisGlory Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 What's the point of corn starch?This is all, so far, that I know about the cornstarch. I think that might be why I got the exact frothy milk look that I wanted.Cornstarch is used in whipped shea and lotion bars made of oil and wax to facilitate an easier glide across the skin and to minimize the greasy feeling that can otherwise be left behind by oil/wax mixtures. It is a natural more healthy use than talc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
