The Dessert Candle Making Workshop is a highly immersive, hands-on experience where candle making meets hyper-realistic design. In this one-time workshop, you’ll learn how to create a realistic dessert-style candle, working with high-quality soy wax and professional techniques used to achieve detailed, bakery-inspired results.
This class goes far beyond basic candle pouring. You’ll explore the full process of transforming wax into textured layers, whipped “cream,” and decorative elements that resemble real desserts and fruits. From color blending to fragrance selection, every step is guided while leaving room for creativity and personal style.
No prior candle-making experience is needed. The workshop is beginner-friendly while offering enough depth to feel exciting, skill-based, and truly unique.
Everything is included — from premium materials and professional instruction to light snacks and drinks — so you can fully enjoy the process.
