You are buying the flat bottom tin inserts. You are buying just the tin inserts. Candles are sold and listed separately. The flat bottom are perfect if you burn votive candles. We carry two types of sugar mold tin inserts, the cone shaped, and the flat bottom inserts like these. Our sugar mold candles fit both inserts. The flat bottom inserts are better for burning votives.

Our candles when used in these flat bottom inserts will stick out of the inserts. We will list both types of inserts. Not using an insert when burning candles in the sugar molds is asking for trouble. The problem with glass inserts, which we do not carry, is that sooner or later they will shatter and, well, create a mess and a danger. Not using the inserts will make it almost impossible to dig the old candle out of the mold. All of our complete sugar molds come with the inserts. Dimensions: 2.5"D x 2.25"W

The last photo shows how our candles fit in these "flat" inserts...they rise above. If you want our candles to sit flush on the insert, we recommend the cone shape inserts. Those are listed here on our etsy store separately. Search with those keywords, cone shape...

NOTE: using our cone shaped candles and flat inserts will have the candles stick up a little, just like the photo. But we have the cone shaped ones as well, listed separately that are candles will sit flush. It is just your preference.

The inserts are made out of tin and in a copper tone.
