Julip- I love your Whoopie wave gif! So cute. About KSP, I do like it but I can't decide if it's enough to do a reorder. The fact that it will no longer be available makes me think I probably should just get it:-) Hmm.

RMAO! I've had the same thought about KSP, though actually I've only cold sniffed it since I seem to have left what I would after sharing.

I did order that warmer. Everywhere I found it in black it was either out of stock or $32. I'm not that crazy. And the white will look better with the red/white ramekin, plus my other white ones and my adorable red Le Creuset. So I used Cathie's link and it was $12.99 plus $3.50 shipping.. some other places also wanted more shipping. This is UPS so who knows when it will arrive.

SEA, I checked Cathy's link for that halo warmer and the measurements given were 5-1/4" tall??? Is that because they include a candle or something? Also, S&H was listed as $4.99 not $3.50. Is this link the one you ordered from?

Holly, I think the 5 1/4" was part of the diameter. The unit is not perfectly round, so is a little longer in one direction. It is the height of the regular sized CandleSense warmers. The on/off controls are not on the unit, but on a switch on the cord about 1 foot away from the unit.

There is a slight recess where the warming plate is, with some permanent text on the surface, but the text is covered by the large ramekin.

Bonza - I am loving the Beach! The 2nd day it is warming to a closer scent to the Honeysuckle Vine, but I agree with you that I like the suntan blend on the first warming. I really like hearing from Alyce about these "sister scents" in case any of our favorites are in jeopardy of going into retirement.

Cathie - I love that neon warmer - great photos! And Sea, I agree that is a great feature as a reminder to shut it off. The on light is usually hidden from my view because of the ramekin. And Cathie, how are you finding warming together like that is working - are you getting a nice blend as if you were warming them in one cup?

Jinksy - I have decided I like the KSP, but not enough to reorder, especially since it will be retired. Boy, am I relieved I came to that decision as it does not happen often that I will turn down a discontinued item. lol

Cathie - great photos - the light is very cool and a great way to easily remind ourselves to turn off the warmer.

Note to self: not necessary to order KSP. What a relief.

Still loving Beach today. It's warm & windy here today so it's perfect "beach" weather.

Sea- lol. I think Julip has a point, why reorder if it's just going to be discontinued anyway. Might as well move on, as there are plenty of other scents that are even better. If I was crazy about it, then I would definitely reorder. But, I'm not.

Julip- Thanks for helping me make up my mind! :-) BTW- Did anyone ever order those lemon frosted cupcake tarts or did we forget? lol.

Bonza- I finally picked up my silicone baking cups when I was out getting my Tivo hookup accessories the other day. (Holly, I couldn't help but think of your floating baking cup worries) Anyway, It's been so long since we mentioned them, I can't seem to remember if there were some ramekins they don't work with. Didn't someone say they won't melt properly in bigger ones, or something like that?

Jinksy - Congrats on getting your sili cups! Glad you were able to find them.

I'm not sure, but I think you might be referring to something I posted a while back - I tried them first in the Le Creuset ones, and they are a snug fit. I at first thought they didn't work with these because they took forever to warm the tart - they would not stay snug on the bottom of the ramie.

I figured out after I posted that, that the trick is to make sure you have it pushed snug into the ramie while the ramie is cold. If you try to push it down while it is warm, the heat has expanded the silicup and it won't fit right.

Oops! I think we all forgot about the Lemon Frosted Cupcakes! Those VDay scents made me lose focus. lmao

Lemon Frosted Cupcakes what? Is it discontinued? I fear I missed something. lol.

I have been unable to stop thinking about Waffle Cone since I turned it off Friday night. Beach is over, nothing left to the TP, so I had to go immediately back to Waffle Cone. I felt like a junkie when I put it back on the warmer - I missed it.

Bonza- lmao. After trying those yummy smelling lemon meringue tarts someone mentioned trying the LFC ones and we talked about splitting them up. But we forgot. Which works out great because now you can get in on it too, if you want.

Julip- Thanks for the info. That's exactly what I was talking about but I couldn't remember the specifics.

Bonza - Waffle Cone junkie! LOL! That is perfectly understandable. I could not get a full bag of those fast enough after I tried the TPs.

Oh, and yes, the Lemon Meringue tarts started a discussion on the Lemon Frosted Cupcakes. That is one of Delphi Angela's favorites, by the way, so it sure to be a good one. I am surprised none of us has gotten a sample of it between all the samplers we've received. lol I guess they haven't been purchased too much in the last month.

Jinksy - oh good! I'm glad I pulled up the correct obscure info from my memory. lol

You know, I bought a bag of Lemon Meringue based on everyone's discussion. I wonder if they're cured yet.... how could I have missed the Lemon Frosted Cupcakes?! lmao. They sound great, I'm in.

Jinksy - congrats on finding a supply of sili-cups. You have wiped your last ramekin! :-)

What are you all doing on the computer when the BIG GAME is going to start in just 45 minutes! lol

I love the lighted tart warmer and you're right Sea, that would benefit me because I could see that it's still on. I leave mine on all the time accidentally.

It's officially Waffle Cone day here today, thanks to Bonza... I just put one on! Hi Bonza!

Julip ~ you're right... I forgot to add them to my last order too... I went mostly all VD scents! Hi Julip!

Sea ~ thanks for the update on Alyce's condition. i was worried that the VD scents would be delayed! They just can't be... VD is so close! I can't decide what to get my man... lol, I wish!

Jinsy ~ You're going to hate me. I returned my TIVO today. I'm an idiot and didn't get it registered in time to get my $150 rebate. I did pay for the first month of Tivo service (and thankfully didn't do the lifetime service which I was going to upgrade to after the first month). I'm going to try a cable DVR and then decide if I need Tivo. You got a GREAT deal. So, did I, but I screwed it up! ugh!

Happy Superbowl Everyone!

I am warming KSP today and it is the first time for me, even though I enabled two of you.

And I'm not loving it. It was really okay for awhile but now my throat is bothered. HOWEVER, I also have a stuffy nose/scratchy throat today so this isn't the final word on KSP. However, I can say, I don't think I'd order it again; just too many scents I adore, for that to happen.

Bonza, I could send you a TP of KSP, but my guess is it wouldn't be a favorite for you, either.

I mean.. WAFFLE CONE, my favorite of the week! I must order a bag of that.

Well, it sounds like we will all be busy working on trying the VDay scents, so it is probably for the best, at least in my case. I can certainly wait for the new batch of scents to be unveiled in a month or so, to encourage me to get a bunch of my 'inventory' used up. lol

Joely - sounds like a good plan to go with the cable DVR to see what you think! I have a feeling you are going to love it!

All this talk of waffle cone - I think I am going to have to try the Waffle Cone/Strawberry Preserves mix in a little bit! My Beach is still going strong, but my Kristen's Sweet Passion is just about done. Glad we are finding another one we can live without, for our sakes.

I am still working on my tartburner.com order. I am glad, Sea, you pointed out the iridescent "tart adapters". I then found these tealight warmers:



that come in all the same colors. It looks like the "tart adapter" switches out, too, so you can use any of the colors, so I can use any TAs I decide to add (currently looking at both the lavender and dark blue too)

I was looking for another tealight warmer just in case the power goes out, and also on Alyce's FAQs, she says she prefers tealights because you get more hours out of a tart using that method.

So, these will go under "research" inventory, and not real supplies.

Joely, I love my cable DVR.. Get the biggest hard drive you can... I often find I wish I had more room.. Actually I've considered getting a second cable DVR and putting it upstairs; there are just too many times I actually want to record 3-4 shows at one time and then I'd have something to watch on those days when there isn't much on.

I also missed out on adding Waffle Cone to my VD order.. I was so excited I just ordered from that new list.. but.. oh I can't wait to get that Red Velvet Cake or Fresh Baked Cookies or Sugar Cookie!! YOW!

LOL.. I also switched to Waffle Cone for the rest of the day..

That is cute! No tealight for me.. I just don't want any flames around here. But the tart adaptors sound great.. I'm wondering if they are actually translucent or just appear to be?

And on the subject of Silicups:

Congrats, Jinksy!

And I remember well that I thought I was going overboard getting three bags of those, but now I can see that I need more! I know I can pop out the partly used tart and rebag it but... I'm almost out and need more for enabling too.

No, no flames for me either. And I am so sure that if the power goes out I am not going to care about the house smelling nice.

I was reading at the official SJ board that there is an electric warmer sold at Wal-Mart that is less wattage then the Candlesense (which is 17w). I believe the Wal-Mart model is 9w and someone talked about their tarts lasting much longer than most other people's.

Maybe worth investigating? Like I need more "supplies". lmao

Hi Joely- I don't blame you in the least for returning your Tivo. Most especially if you weren't going to get the rebate!!! I'll be interested to hear how the DVR works out for you. Hopefully, the cable company will come right to your house and install it. Should work out nice and easy:-)

Julip- I really love those iridescent tart adapters. So pretty. I think I may get the violet and blue ones when I put my order in for the plug-in ivory warmer. BTW- I have the apple fritter combo (baked apples/cinibuns) going on two of my warmers. Really super yummy. Thank you:-)
Good idea to wait until Alyce list the new scents to place another order. It will give us all a chance to use up some of our tart stash. Then hopefully will remember to get the LFC.

Sea- I'm excited to get my VD scents too. They all sound so delicious!

Bonza- You have to put one of those LM ones on soon. I think you are going to love it. We'll count you in for the LFC's too unless you end up hating the LM one:-)

Julip - that tealight warmer is so cute. I just don't have enough places for candles that are cat-safe. Two fireplace mantles, but that's it.

You get that one and let us know your findings.

LOL Bonza - if the power goes out, you are right - the house smelling nice should be the least of our worries. On the other hand, I'll need Bedtime Bath about then to keep me calm while the tv and internet are out.

I missed that about the Wal-Mart warmers being 9w - they sound worth a try. Let us know if you find them there, because I've never had luck finding warmers at WM. I don't know where they keep them! If you buy them, you can write them off as "research."

Jinksy - I'm glad you like the Apple Fritters combo! I just put on the Strawberry Waffles combo - I'll review when it gets going.

Sea - I'm thinking I need more sili-cups too, so I can have them to include with starter packs (thanks for the great idea, Bonza!). They are getting harder to find in stock, though - popular little items!
