Bonza- waffle cone is super yummy! Thanks to resident enabler Julip, I was able to get hooked on those. I agree about how buttery it is. Pure yum.

Sea- I'm so happy for you about that BNB freebie. Nice one. :-)

Julip- I checked the site and it doesn't have a usb warmer. Big bummer, huh?

Holly- I just heard about that BB&B on the news. Wow, I can't believe how much rain you're getting. Good excuse to stay indoors that's for sure. I had to laugh when you mentioned about the silicone cups floating away. lol

I'm trying Sugared Vanilla Glaze now.. seems light but definitely very nice.

Hmm maybe Waffle Cone will be on the menu tomorrow. My records indicate I have TP of that..

Oh, Julip, thanks for the berry brulee review. It sounds great! I'm going to put it on tomorrow. Thanks to Sea, I have one to try:-)

Wow, Holly - that is an awful rainstorm! I hope your place is ok. Don't you live pretty close to Alyce, too? I certainly hope it does not jeopardize her monthly shipment of 400 pounds of wax (yes, you read that right - 400 lbs! Which she says is not a lot for her). That would really stop the tart production cold.

I'm glad the few injuries were minor - stay safe! And loling about the sili-cups floating away too.

Bonza - isn't the Waffle Cone the best? I seriously did not think I'd like that one as much as I do. Delish!

Oh, Jinksy - try a 1/2 WC with 1/2 SP! That was my original intent before I found out how much I liked it plain - I have not tried it yet!

Too bad about the USB warmer! I did look at the silver one at one of those sites I posted a few weeks ago, it is now marked down to $3.99. Bargain, but a suspicious bargain. It used to be $24.99, so I am now doubting it works well. There are the other 2 that are white, which I may try. It sure would be nice to have it right by the computer without having it plugged into an outlet. If the power goes out, at least it could run on the laptop battery for a little bit...although I wonder how much power it would draw out?

Holly's story reminds me that I should probably pick up another tealight warmer to have on hand just in case we get a bad storm that knocke the power out!

Sea - GREAT order, and yay on the free BNB!

Jinksy - I have the KSP on, and you are right - it is a very nice, unique scent! It reminds me of something that I just can't put my finger on. I am finding it a very light scent, though - are you? I had to go sniff it close to the warmer to try to figure out if I can remember what it reminds me of.

Julip- I just had to laugh out loud because I'm having the exact same experience trying to figure out what it reminds me of. Please let me know as soon as you figure it out because I sure can't. And yes, I do have to go in close to get a really good sniff. So, I agree about it being light.

Oh, SP and WC mixed sounds heavenly! I will be trying that one. Thanks for the recipe.

Sea- I just checked those out and they are so pretty. I love that they come in violet. Hmm.. I wonder how big they are.

If you look one category up at Tartwarmers.com, they have 4 different categories of those little bowls (different pricing in each category). I noticed them earlier - they don't give dimensions but they appear to be a bit smaller than ramekins. Cute - some are even handpainted.

Scroll down to the bottom of the page:

The one I noted said it held two tarts (but of course tarts could come in different sizes).. and Bonza's silver warmer comes in some amazing colors too..

Bonza- thanks, that really helped to get an idea of the size. It seems on the smaller side which is exactly what I like. And I really like the iridescent colors. BUT, I really do not need anymore ramekins. lmao.

I'd like to hear if anyone has or obtains a warmer where the warmer plate is larger than that of the candlsense ones I have.. for my too large ramekins.. which are "just" too large..

Sea - my silver warmer and all those in that category have 4" plates. Have you measured your "too large" ramekins?

There is also this one (not nearly as cute as yours or in many colors) that is 4 1/4"

Sea - that cherry ramie is so cute! And the 4 1/4" would for sure work for you. I'll measure the exact width of mine when it arrives. They say 4" but even if it's a bit less in the actual plate size, that should work for you also.

Sea, a store near us, Hobby Lobby, has larger candle warmers, I assumed for the larger jar candles. I don't remember the price but I can check it out tomorrow when I'm running errands. I saw your cherry ramekin at Kohl's. Did you see the ones they have to go with it that are all red and have the three dimentional shape of cherries? I almost bought one, now wanting to go back and "just do it"!

Julip & Jinksy, what scent is SP? I have some tp of waffle cone and would love to try the recipe if I knew what the heck SP was, lol. :-)

Sea - I really like those iridescent "tart adaptors" you found. Really pretty! But oh, I so do not need any more ramekins. Maybe I can justify it because they do not call them "ramekins".

I don't have any tart adaptors!

Jinksy - I have a feeling I'm going to have to try he SC+SP combo tomorrow. I'd forgotten all about it until Bonza mentioned the WC, and it really sounds like it will work great!

Nice ramekin, Sea!

Yes, Julip, Alyce lives pretty close by. (Gosh, we just had the biggest thunder boom I've ever heard--it was ear shattering!) The rain is coming down again pretty hard, and the thunder is rolling like crazy. My garage was badly flooded and I had to spend most of the afternoon with a wet vac and a mop until I eventually gave up. Luckily though, nothing got in the house. (They say it's a record-breaking rain fall and emergency services have been kept busy all day.) If Alyce has lost her power, then I imagine that will definitely put a cog in the wheel of the tart industry! I believe that her area got even more rain than we did too.

Funny thing is, this morning I let my class out early due to the weather, and I started to head to BB&B. I had tried the paper/foil cups (they just don't work well) and had finally broken down and decided to spring for the silis. On the way to BBB, I hit the first flooded area, saw several cars ahead of me stalled out, so was able to turn around and head home (should have been an 8 min. drive home). But on the way, the rain was so torrential there was virtually no visibility and the flooding everywhere was just awful. I really thought I was going to stall out as I had to drive through some pretty deep pools. It took me about 25 minutes to get home. I'm just glad I didn't make it to BBB though because it was around that time that the roof caved in and with my luck, I would probably have been standing at the checkout with my little net bag of blue and red silicups as the roof came tumbling down on my noggin. I can see the coroner's report--Cause of Death: Muffin SiliCups. I'm thinking that me and those rubber things were just never meant to be.

Cathie - sorry! SP = Strawberry Preserves. I planned to make "Strawberry Waffles" when I first ordered Waffle Cone, but then I found I really like WC on its own! Since then, I completely forgot I meant to mix with SP. Hope it is as good as I hope, and I really hope you have some SP! If not, maybe try another fruity one - I imagine it would smell good with any of those.

Oh my, Holly, what a mess! I am really glad the water did not make it up into your house, though. Do you have sandbags at the ready? I hope you did not have any damage, or if so, minor.

What a close call on your way out to BB&B! Good thing you were able to turn around when you saw the stalled out cars. Just tell yourself they were out of the sili-cups, so it would not have mattered if you got there today - they will be there the next time you are able to get them when things calm down.

Hope everything returns back to normal soon out by you!

And that Alyce still has her power and that she is weathering the storm fine as well.

Holly, I'm sure you would have clutched the silicups all the way to the ER!

Cathie, Yeah I saw that other cherry item and, like you, I looked and didn't buy and I'm sure those are all gone, since they had all that sort of thing buy one get one free and that was awhile ago.

Those whole cherry things were very cute, too.

No Hobby Lobby in California..

Hmm.. I got SP today but don't want to consider it cured.. lol.. though the Sugared Vanilla I'm melting is only from 01/23, but my waffle cone is vintage 01/09..

My next order, hopefully not floating somewhere, includes strawberry shortcake..
