Does anybody know the burn time on the burns? Also, do they burn down or get runny all over? I was asked these questions and I had to say ahhhh I don't know.

Hi! These candles do liquify so have them place the votives inside a tight votive cup.
The cinn. buns liquify too so they need to be in some type of holder to keep wax from running.
The pillars need to be watched closely - my wick moved to the side and the edges started getting really thin. There are instructions on those.
The burn times depend on draft and trimming wicks, but mine last me 100 hours for jars and 15 for votives, bella buns I can't seem to remember the burn times on those. I don't think they were as long as a votive, and they don't completely liquify and burn evenly, but the remaining wax can be placed in a tart warmer. Edited by: lovethiscandle

I just wanted to say, I haven't burned the bella buns, but I did get some the other day. I can't believe how real they look! They smell yummy enough to just have sitting out on a little tray for decoration!

I placed a bun in a custard dish and it burned nicely for me. Burned mine as
far as I wanted it to go- left about 2 "rings" around it (make sense?) and still
got about 12 hours burn time. A little "leaking" but not much.
When it was done, I chopped it up and used it in my melt warmer- a little
goes a LOOOOONG way and scents the entire floor of the house. (IMO, the
scent is at least 2x stronger when used as a melt!)I think I got about 7 or 8
melts out of what was left after burning it- a really good value, considering
the "Y" company melts are over $1 each!
