To get the most out of your candle, follow these tips for a clean, safe, and long-lasting burn.

For All Candles:

1. Trim the wick to ¼ inch (6 mm) before each use to prevent soot and mushrooming.

2. Allow a full melt pool during the first burn (especially on wider candles) — this prevents tunneling.

3. Burn for 2–4 hours max at a time to extend the life of your candle.

4. Place on a heat-safe surface, away from drafts, pets, or anything flammable.

5. Never leave unattended — extinguish before leaving the room or going to sleep.

6. Keep wax free of debris like wick trimmings or matches.

For Dessert Candles (Whipped or Decorated Candles):

1. Trim all visible wicks (including toppings) to ¼ inch before lighting.

2. Burn on a heat-resistant plate or dish to catch any dripping wax from whipped or decorative tops.

3. Burn on a level surface and keep an eye on toppings as they melt — soft wax can shift.

4. Allow a full melt pool on the first burn to help preserve the look and avoid tunneling.

5. Store in a cool place — whipped wax is soft and sensitive to heat or sunlight.

💛 Pro Tip: If the candle ever burns unevenly, gently “hug the wax” (press in the edges once cooled) or use foil to help guide the melt.
