There’s something about lighting this Fruit Loop candle that instantly takes me back.

I’m 50 now, but the moment that sweet cereal aroma fills the room, I can remember those Saturday mornings so clearly — sitting in front of the TV, watching cartoons, no bills, no stress, no world to carry yet.

Just cartoons, cereal, and that simple feeling of being a kid.

That’s what I love about fragrance. It doesn’t just smell good. Sometimes it unlocks a memory you didn’t even realize you missed.

This candle brings me right back to those mornings, and that’s exactly the feeling I wanted to capture when I made it.

Now available on GourmetWax.com

The Piña Colada is one of the most famous tropical cocktails, traditionally made with rum, coconut cream, and fresh pineapple juice, blended into a smooth frozen drink that instantly brings island vibes to mind. The scent in this candle captures that same experience — bright, juicy pineapple layered with creamy coconut and a soft tropical sweetness that smells just like the first sip of a cold Piña Colada on a warm beach day. ~ AJ The Candle Chef

Want to make your own Fruit Loop molds as big or as many as you like?

I just released some Fruit Loop models so you don’t have to deal with skinny, breakable Fruit Loops while making your molds.

FRUIT LOOP MODELS

One of the most expensive parts of making Fruit Loop candles is molds.
Normally, you need a separate mold for each color, which adds up fast.

With models, you can:

Make as many molds as you want

Make molds any size or depth you prefer

Control your silicone thickness for durability

Mass produce Fruit Loops on your own schedule

Reduce long-term costs instead of constantly buying molds

You’re no longer locked into fixed cavities or fragile cereal pieces.

FRUIT LOOP TEMPLATES (FOR BUSINESSES)

For those running a business or wanting to sell silicone molds on Etsy, I also released Fruit Loop templates.

The templates are a pour-and-peel system:

28 cavities

No layout work

No shifting

Just pour silicone, let it cure, peel, and reuse

They’re designed to make mold production fast, clean, and repeatable.

Both the models and templates are now available on my Etsy.

These pair directly with my Fruit Loop recipe and live demo, so you now have the full system:

Join me live as I break down how to properly work with gel wax and demonstrate how to create a highly realistic cola candle, from clarity and color to ice placement and overall realism.

In this class, you’ll learn:

How gel wax behaves differently from container and pillar waxes

Proper handling, pouring, and temperature control for clean results

Techniques for achieving realistic cola color and depth

How to place and suspend “ice” for a true drink-style look

Live Class:
📅 Saturday, 1/11/26
⏰ 6:00 PM EST

If you can’t attend live, no problem —
👉 The full replay and downloadable recipe PDF will be posted on Monday.

This class completes Recipe 10 and continues building out Volume 2 with both visual demos and written recipes.

See you in class! Link below in comments.

These are plastic models that I created from real pineapple chunks. They are durable, permanent, and are much easier to use then real fruits with less clean up. ~AJ The Candle Chef
