Whether you're a 1-year-old taking in cake by the fistful, or a newly married couple smearing icing on each other's faces at the reception, cake is synonymous with celebrations - and fun - for most of us. This nostalgic sweet, buttery vanilla scent makes a playful birthday gift, but dessert lovers will enjoy it year-round!

GETTING THE MOST OUT OF YOUR CANDLE

• Trim the wick to 1/4" for each burn (to keep your flame the right height and minimize soot).
• Light your candle in a safe area, away from pets, kids, drafts, and anything flammable.
• Never leave a lit candle unattended!
• Burn your candle completely across the top surface to ensure the wax doesn't tunnel (lots of wasted wax around inner edges).
• Do not burn your candle for more than ~4 hours at a time. If the candle fully liquifies, it will get dangerously hot! Longer burns also cause more carbon build-up on your wick and excessive soot.

SOY NOTES

It is completely normal for natural soy candles to develop a white, crystal-like finish (called frosting). Soy wax also gets a bumpy texture on the top surface after burning - it's actually a great way to tell a candle is made from natural soy wax! Because we do not use dyes, some candles may appear ivory, and others may develop more yellow or brown hues, depending on your fragrance. Rest assured, any variations in color or finish are normal and will not impact the performance of your candle at all!
