Which Tart Do You Prefer?

I know that when I hear "tart" I automatically think about a delicious pastry. Candle tarts, however, can look and smell wonderful, but are not that tasty. And especially those little candle tarts (not the fruit ones) are meant to fill your home with great scent.

   
Which Tart Do You Prefer?

 
These tarts (on the left) usually come in small molds, made of low melt point wax, have a strong scent and are wickless.

Here Candle Cauldron's way of making them.

They are placed on a tart burner with a tealight inside, and when the tart candle begins to melt, it scents the room.

Which is better? Paraffin or Soy?

Here is another stand in the old "Paraffin vs. Soy" argument.

"Candle-Licious.com" argues that both paraffin and soy are safe, and there is no reason not to use paraffin, as others claim.

Remember, that no mater what position one takes, it is always important to verify their sources, listen to both sides, and make your own mind.

What do you think?
