I'll make a mental note of that for next time we make them and make sure we take them out asap!<br />For mine, not all of the rounds from a the same batch were waxy (so I don't think it was leaving them in the oven too long, or it should have affected them all?) and I did remember using crappy waxy crayons in a few of them. And when I say waxy I mean the Entergentlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09667630916580441817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3188813933369732935.post-1944096155491455192011-02-18T17:28:40.477-05:002011-02-18T17:28:40.477-05:00It may be true that the wax separation happens wit...It may be true that the wax separation happens with the cheap crayons more, but my observation when I made Xmas crayons in December was that it seemed to happen when I let them stay in the oven longer. It didn't happen when I took the baking pan out of the oven after the crayons had just *barely* melted.Elisabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12547699549362865113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3188813933369732935.post-35722083441472574542010-11-18T02:28:16.002-05:002010-11-18T02:28:16.002-05:00Oh, and one thing I don't think I mentioned be...Oh, and one thing I don't think I mentioned before. I realized that a few of my crayons ended up with a thick coating of just wax on top (no color, just wax, like 1/4" of it), which of course, made coloring with it impossible. I was using scraps and some were from really cheap crayons, some of which were really cheap ones like you get at restaurants, and I think some of the random Entergentlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09667630916580441817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3188813933369732935.post-59393016982577500422010-11-18T02:24:10.044-05:002010-11-18T02:24:10.044-05:00Hmmm, I couldn't remember so I went back and c...Hmmm, I couldn't remember so I went back and checked . . . yep, it is fine, LOL!! Actually I believe I have made cupcakes with it since.<br />If I recall I think I had to scrub it pretty good, though I would think warming it up would make any residual crayon come off easier. <br />I am thinking about using it to make lotion bars in the next month or so . . . do definitely a useful purchase!!Entergentlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09667630916580441817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3188813933369732935.post-16926328017914171542010-11-07T21:40:46.640-05:002010-11-07T21:40:46.640-05:00Great idea.

I had to shave it all off or it wouldn't leave any color on paper if colored with the top edge. I think the cheaper crayons had more wax in them or something and it separated from the color. So sticking with scraps of good name brand crayons would probably Entergentlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09667630916580441817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3188813933369732935.post-39442350946030125102009-12-18T12:00:24.472-05:002009-12-18T12:00:24.472-05:00Kelley, these are just precious.
