I purchased a Grubby Jar in Vanilla Frosted Graham and Funnel Cake and it smelled delicious! It was 16 ounces for only $10! I also ordered donut shaped tarts at 6 for $3 and they have a great throw. The whipped pumpkin pie is terrific! I enjoy the bakery type scents and she has a large selection of them and more! I will definitely order from her again.

Placed another order with Amanda. She said she was sick, so the order took alittle over 3 weeks. I ordered (5) 8 oz. jars of wax crumbles for $3.50 each. I thought that was a GREAT deal!! The scents I ordered are a hit or miss. Some scents are nice the others I just didn't care for. Maybe it's me. I also ordered (3) car fresheners that smell very nice- (2) in Buttercream Crunch and (1) in Hot Cinnamon. I'll have to see how long they last. Amanda also threw in some freebies! BLUEBERRY MUFFIN smells GREAT and LOVE SPELL is very nice when I want a perfumy scent. Also a cute little twisted bread tart in SWEET POTATO PIE. All in all, I am on the fence with this order. I'm not as happy as last time, but maybe it's just the scents I ordered. I see that Amanda has some new almost edible tarts and they look interesting. Maybe I'll try some of those in other scents.

light scent throw

For right now, I am rating this one a 6. I ordered several things. First I ordered 2 26oz candles($14)-7-up Pound cake and Marshmallow Ambrosia-both have very light scent throws. I e-mailed the owner and she recommended I purchase a candle warmer that surrounds the entire candle-so spending more $ I found these at candlesbyvictoria for $25, have not received it yet-will let you know if it is worth it.
Next, I purchased 2 16oz grubby jars($10)-these are really cute one in Buttercream/Pistachio-so far the buttercream is a light thrower (I love pistachio-it is the second layer and have not reached it yet) and Vanilla Frosted Grahams/funnel cake-a medium thrower.
Last, I ordered 2 tri wick enamel bowls($10) in Warm Orange Gingerbread-these are adorable too with wax embeds of gingerbread men and crystal sprinkles. Although, I have been burning these both together and the scent throw is lacking.
So, overall the display aspect of these candles is nice and they have all been burning very clean, wicks require lots of trimming. A little disappointed in scent throw.
Would I recommend? Well, maybe if you write the owner and ask about stronger throwers-or if you just like candles for display there are some very pretty candles here for a good price.

Got my candle warmer yesterday and put the 7-up pound cake jar in it, after it was completely melted I still got very little throw-my conclusion-these candles just have little scent throw. I will try the Marshmallow Ambrosia and will update with changes, if needed. I saw a poster below me stated she gets little scent throw from orange danish-now in my experience orange danish and blueberry scents are hard to mess up and are usually the strongest scents. My advice is not to waste your time or $ if you are looking for strong throwers 
************************
Just a little note about the candle warmers that surround the jar-if you use this with a wicked candle-when this melts the wax in the jar the wick gets misplaced and basically you cannot burn this candle after. I did try the Marshmallow Ambrosia and even with this the throw is crummy!!!! I actually threw away the 7-up pound cake candle today-it was full, felt a bit guilty, but I lost the wick and the scent throw was nothing-so in the trash it went.
