Oh my gosh - cute! I must say, the striped ones that you found first are my favorites, but I am digging on the 'bayou blue' (and 'cajun red') as well. Great detective research work, Bonza!

OMG.. the Classic Cafe Blue (and the black, of course) are wonderful.. and the two that Julip likes as well.. I didn't get out today but I suppose I should check Wal*Mart for them but heck.. online is so easy.. Yeah I kind of knew there was a local Sur la Table but... that could be dangerous and of course I have a TON of the Wilton Silicups. But, those colors.... Sigh.

Julip, the two you like, Bayou Blue and Cajun Red seem to be $5.95 a pair at Cooking.com but free shipping only on orders of $99 or more.. didn't check the regular shipping.. It looks like Ace Hardware has only the Callaway design, but for future reference they have a deal .. free shipping to your local Ace Hardware. Sigh and because I went to IE to search the stupid Dell home page gave away the AI results, which I won't do. Pfft.

Good morning, tartettes! Today I am warming Tampico Vanilla in the kitchen, and Bamboo Sugarcane in the family room. Love them! I think Tampico Vanilla is my favorite vanilla by far. It is similar to Vanille Canelle, but not nearly as spicy (love the VC too, though). Still, more unique than your standard vanilla. It was probably a bad idea to try Bamboo Sugarcane with the Tampico Vanilla because it seems to be a lighter scent and hard to detect from a room away...but when I go up to it, it is a lovely 'green' scent - just what I was hoping for. It is a hard one to explain in words...maybe later the scent will get a little more prominent to help me explain it, but for now, I can say it is simply a refreshing scent for those who like 'green' scents.

Sea - thank you for the excellent detective work! It sounds like you found a great deal on those two colors. It will be hard to justify a supersaver purchase with the free shipping not till you hit $99, but I may end up giving it a whirl. lol I could probably use a few new cookware pieces. And I agree - Sur La Table is very dangerous! I have a weakness for kitchen gadgets, and it takes me forever to get through that store.

Good Morning Sounds yummy at your house Julip! It seems you've found a "must have" tart with the Tampico Vanilla. Sur La Table can be dangerous for me too! It has so many fun things and it takes me an eternity to go through the store. Today on the warmers I have peppermint cheesecake which is so delicious is seems I've died and gone to tart heaven. Right up there with waffle cone for me, which I also have on the warmer today! Pure yum. And on the downstairs warmer, I have Strawberry waffle cone delight. It's going to be a great tart day for sure

Yum, Jinksy - it sounds like you need some vanilla ice cream to go with all those delicous dessert scents you have going. Oh no about the Peppermint Cheesecake, since it is long gone. Sounds like you better do an ISO for it. Bonza - how fun to have made dim sum! What kinds of dishes did you learn how to do, and have you tried it again? I like to make fried won ton, but that is about all I've tried in that dept.

Oh , no more peppermint cheesecake! What's up with discontinuing the cheesecake scents? lmao. I guess I'm the only one who likes them, they must not be big enough sellers. Oh well, there are plenty of others to love.

Quick question... The other day I warmed tiki bar and it smelled of something I can't put my finger on. It kinda reminded me of o christmas tree for some reason. It was a strange combination of scents. Not sure that I liked it. Has any one else tried it?

I've got cupcake batter warming right now, and it really smells delicious! I want to lick the bowl!

Jinksy - I have not tried Tiki Bar yet, and I can't remember what the description of it was, but I would have figured it would be more of a tropical fruity concoction. How weird it ended up being like O Christmas Tree! I will have to find it and give it a sniff. Did the cold sniff seem to give you the same impression? On the other hand, I just received a sample of Hawaiian Ginger, (thanks to Holly!), and it smells amazing! I would have never guessed it, from the variety and number of scents listed in its description, and I passed on it on my last order for that very reason. I am only going off the cold sniff, but it seems like it will be a definite order for me if it doesn't turn on me on the warmer.

LOL Merry - no licking! No tasting! Jinksy - I think peppermint cheesecake may have started out as a limited run from the start, similarly to the V-Day scents, though I can't be sure. I betcha there is *someone* who has some stashed away at Delphi.

Julip- for me, the cold sniff of tiki bar didn't smell the same as when it warmed. The description says "imagine sitting next to a fruit bowl in Mexico." Hmm. I can't wait to hear what you think when you eventually warm it. I'm getting my ISO list ready for Delphi and peppermint cheesecake will be on it. Fingers crossed for finding more of that yummy scent! What a bummer it was a limited scent. Makes it all the more appealing, you know how that works. Merry- cupcake batter sounds so yummy. Sounds like something I have to try

Jinksy, glad you enjoyed the Peppermint Cheesecake. I was worried it wouldn't hold a candle to your beloved Strawberry Cheesecake, LOL. I may have another with your name on it--let me check and get back to you on that. Isn't the HG lovely, Julip. I offered to split that order with someone and now am sorry I did. If I still had the dozen, I would send out some more samples to you all, but all I've got left are three. Bonza, thanks for posting those links to the pastel silicups. They are really lovely and, sad to say, my silicup relationship continues to drive me bonkers! I ordered some from a seller on eBay and they are so paper-thin, the wax leaks through. Then you can't separate the sili from the rammie without tearing it. Yet another lesson learned in the art of tarts, lol.

Well, Jinksy - I've had Tiki Bar going for about 90 minutes and for me - it's fruity with a bit too much pineapple. The longer it warms, the more prominent the pineapple becomes. That keeps it in the "relieved I won't be ordering a bag" category, should it come back in stock.
Holly - that just sucks about the too-thin silicups! When you do get a chance to buy some good ones, I know you will be stocking up. I hope that happens for you soon!

Oooooh, pineapple. I just love the fruity tarts. I got a pomegranate one in a swap which I'm burning now, and it's very interesting and very fruity. I suppose I'll soon be thinking about a pomegranate martini. hmmmm....

Holly- I really am crazy about it! Thanks again for the trade. If you do come across another one, , I have a bunch to trade with or I can PP you. Tomorrow, I'm going to post a ISO list at Delphi with a list of ones I've got to trade. Thanks for offering to look, if you find one I can always email you the list before I post it. BTW- that stinks big time about those super thin leaky sili-cups. Bonza- Hmm. Very interesting about the tiki bar. I think you are very right about the prominent pineapple. It really takes over but not in a good way. I sensed a hint of pine needles mixed in there too. Hmm.

Aren't our "sniffers" interesting!? Pineapple is not for me, not in the long-term, tart-burning sense, anyway. But the pomegranate in Bird of Paradise was quite pleasant for me. Was there a pomegranate tart at one time? A "pom" martini would be great! Jinksy - there very well could be a dry-down of pine needles, but I'll never know. I have moved on to Vanille Banane. And yesterday I tried Pink Lime, loved it!

There must have been, Bonza, coz I got in from the Swap board just recently. I don't see a description of it anywhere so it must have been an old one. Maybe Julip will remember it?

I found it in an old list I have, that included retired scents: Pomegranate - it's back once again, very fruity and fresh scent of a pomegranate.

I loved the vanille banane and will be getting at least a tp of those on my next order. Count me in for the pom martini! Sounds delish . Also, I just got a bird of paradise in the mail from the RAK and I think I'm really going to like it!

Bird of Paradise is very nice, Jinsky. I've melted a couple of them. It's a light throw, though. Has anyone tried Lime Blossom? I just did an ISO for that as I'd love to try it. I love the limey ones.

Holly, did you get my email? I have a question about the tarts I'm sending you. If you just haven't had time to respond yet, no problem. I just know I've had problems with my emails getting to you in the past.
