Alajane Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 Look at the picture of a "breakfast bun" candle from the Avon brochure:I can't see any way that isn't a rose mold! I have 4 trays (6 molds per tray) of silicone rose molds--it would sure be easier than hand-rolling cinnamon buns like I've been doing for several years!But I sure can't see that it looks like a cinnamon bun and don't believe customers would, either!Just thought you might get a giggle out of this.Jane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carriegsxr6 Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 that is totally lame, i cant belive they would put something like that in their catalog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 Well actually I've seen real cinnamon buns look close to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Candelishis Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 Well actually I've seen real cinnamon buns look close to that.I hope you didn't eat it!!It looks like it has a snakeskin finish to it....gross...and yeah, there's no way that is not a rose mold...I would not pay a quarter for that thing. It's ugly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alajane Posted October 4, 2007 Author Share Posted October 4, 2007 My daughter is an Avon rep and had told me about it, but I couldn't believe it was really that mold until I saw the brochure! Guess I'll have to learn to trust DD's opinion in future! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbarber03 Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 Mmmm, iced roses. I used that same mold (err hmm muffin pan) for Valentine's Day. LOL. Made wine and rose scented cinnamon buns, I mean roses. Hahahaha, sorry, couldn't resist. I guess if you didn't study it, you wouldn't realize it was a rose mold at first. I showed it to a co-worker and she said it looked yummy, I asked her what it was and she said Cinnamon Bun, I had to actually point out what it really was. I guess those of us who have made these rose candles are quick to identify "Hey, I have that mold!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carol M Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 Actually, the shape with the icing on is pretty convincing, imo. But what kills it for me is the snakeskin coloring; there's no way I would buy that. That gives me the creeps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alajane Posted October 4, 2007 Author Share Posted October 4, 2007 I think I'm going to give it a try with one pan full--I wonder if I make my "frosting" a bit thicker, if that would disguise the rose shape more.cbarber03, it sounds like it worked for you for Valentine's day. The reason I have so many of the molds is because someone ordered 200 rose-shaped soaps from me for a Mother's Day luncheon. Is there any problem with using the same mold for soap and candles?Jane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what kills it for me is the snakeskin coloring; there's no way I would buy that. That gives me the creeps.Me too! I could see someone who is not familiar with that rose mold (I have one also) thinking it looked like a roll-maybe (to me, all I see is ROSE), but that finish on it is just disgusting!how much are they selling that crap for?

Alajane Posted October 4, 2007 Author Share Posted October 4, 2007 $7.99!! And I've been selling my hand-rolled one for $4.00 or 3/$10, so I'm definitely going to give it a shot--should be much less work!Although I just looked in the book again and it says it's 2" high by 4" diameter--I'm pretty sure my "mold" doesn't produce a rose 2" high! I'll have to check when I get home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blazerina Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 Roflmao- That's funny!They should at least call it Cinnamon Boquet and be up front about it, lol. It was probably a man who never cooked a day in his life - - who found this mold and decided it was a cinnamon bun. I'm sorry and I don't mean offense, but sometimes you men see things so simplisticly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
