The shots I ordered were:
Autumn Brittle Pink Cupcake Under the Harvest Moon Leesha Strawberry Kettle Corn Rice Crispy Treats Midnight in Macon Banana Nut Bread Apple Cinnamon Pumpkin Bread Apple Jack n Peel Snow Taffy Chocolate Chip Cookie Monkey Juice
The first one I popped in was Strawberry Kettle Corn. Cold scent, it was very strawberry, like fake strawberry, not like a real strawberry. But as it warms in the melter, I can definitely smell the carnival type smell of kettle corn popping away. I am so glad I picked this one and it was the only one I could really remember ordering and couldn't wait to melt. I will definitely repurchase. Great scent, big throw, much nicer warmed up than cold! My boyfriend only smells popcorn (little to no strawberry) and I mainly smell strawberry, so I guess it's a good blend.
The second tart I started into was Pink Cupcake. I bought this because I thought it'd be a nice scent to blend with everything. I started out with SKC and this. it smelled heavenly. My apt is a flat 900 sf-ish and it scented the whole apartment. Big scent throw.
I guess I'll keep updating this as we go through the tarts.
I also purchased bath salts in Fruit Loops Cupcake and they smell heavenly. I will be taking my first CBV bath tonight. I'm curious to see how it makes the water feel and how it dissolves and how strongly scented it makes the room/water.
Update: I had my first CBV bath. My first impression is... not-that-great. The scent was too light and water remained largely unchanged. If you ladies are hushies at all, you know how soft the water will feel, like velvet and how the scent will fill the whole room. They're my gold standard for bath items. Maybe my portioning was wrong, I'll give it another go but so far I'm pretty meh about it.

I ordered Fruit Loops Cupcake, Leesha and Snow Taffy with my last order too. I haven't melted either of them, because I want them to cure more. But so far they smell pretty good cold. With FLC I only smell Fruit loops.
I might have to try Strawberry Kettle Corn. I've heard only good things about it.

I'm sure it will be different with a bit of cure time and when they are actually on the warmer.

Nice order. I've actually had/have most of those scents. Rice Crispy Treats and Banana Nut Bread can take awhile to cure though. I really love Under The Harvest Moon for fall. It it the perfect fall scent in my humble opinion.

I am gonna let most of them cure a bit more (what's the timeline there, a month?) but I couldn't wait on SKC!

Strawberry Kettle Corn sounds delicious! I really love Under The Harvest Moon! I will need to make sure I have a least a scent shot of it during the fall but I'd love it any time of year.
As far as cure time, that really depends on your nose. Bakery scents do seem to take longer. For bakery I'd wait at the very least 2 weeks. I count the time they are en route to me as cure time. Some scents do smell ready to go upon delivery. I have melted a scent with in a week of it's arrival. I do however only melt a 1/4 scent shot at a time. That way if it a scent is not fully cured I have 3/4 of the scent left to try again.

^^ What she said. Cure time can depend on the scent and whether or not it was freshly poured when it was shipped to you or if it was an extra they had already done in the shop. Typically just to be on the safe side to know you are getting the most out of your scents I would wait at last 2 weeks, but if a scent smells ready to you then melt it. If it doesn't smell right once melted then put it away for awhile longer.
