Let customers speak for us
from 13 reviewsim so happy with these absolutely 5 star candles! the pumpkin candle really has elevated the autumn mood and the throw is really gentle and lingers. My faves are the christmas candles i bought with the offer. the baubles are gorgeous and happy holidays is a super festive scent! have bought them for gifts but might keep them now! I love this organic brand and supporting women owned businesses is a plus too! thank you so much for the great customer service too fair cake!
Really happy with my purchase! I love the packaging and the product itself, and I was also really happy to get it with a discount. I’m especially pleased that it’s made in England, and everything was packed really securely.
The only downside was the delivery. I ordered on 4 September but didn’t receive it until 17 September. Royal Mail sent me a card on 12 September saying there was insufficient postage. I emailed Fair Cake Candles twice but unfortunately didn’t get a reply, so I eventually contacted them through Instagram and finally got some help.
Despite the delivery issue, I’m really happy with the product and would definitely buy from them again. I just hope they can improve the dispatch and delivery process in the future!
My order arrived quickly and well packaged. The smell of my diffuser is lovely 😍
Will definitely order again
I discovered this candle maker at Xmas Home Show, London Olympia. Beautiful scent for holidays season, burn nicely no tunnelling problem at all. Good pairing with Enchanted Forest candle. Highly recommended x
I absolutely love the Discovery Candle Set! I got Moonlit Grove, Cinnamon Bun, and Whispers of Rosewood – and honestly, they’re all divine. Each candle has its own unique vibe: Moonlit Grove is calming and fresh, Cinnamon Bun is sweet and cosy, and Whispers of Rosewood feels warm and luxurious. The scents fill the room beautifully without being overpowering, and the burn time is great too. It’s such a lovely way to try different fragrances, and it would make the perfect gift… although I’m keeping this one for myself!
The Whispers of Rosewood candle is honestly beautiful. The mix of sandalwood and rose is warm, soft, and a little bit fancy without feeling over the top. It makes the whole room feel calm and inviting, and the scent hangs around in the nicest way. If you like rose but want something deeper and cosier, this is perfect.
The Cinnamon Swirl Candle is an absolute treat for the senses. The moment it’s lit, the comforting aroma of freshly baked cinnamon buns fills the room, wrapping you in a warm, homely embrace. It’s sweet, indulgent, and inviting, instantly creating a cosy atmosphere. The soy wax burns evenly, releasing the bakery-fresh scent for hours. Whether it’s a chilly winter evening or you just want to bring a little festive magic into your home, this candle delivers pure comfort in a jar.
The Moonlit Grove candle is pure magic. From the moment I lit it, the blend of cedarwood, lavender, ylang ylang, and lemon verbena filled my home with the most calming scent. It’s the kind of fragrance that melts away the stress of the day. The burn is clean and even, and the aroma lingers beautifully without being overpowering. I’ve started using it during my evening wind-down, and it’s transformed my self-care routine into something truly special. If you’re looking for a candle that feels like a gentle escape from the chaos, this is it.
This candle smells amazing, earthy, fresh & slightly sweet – beautifully packaged and long-lasting, Uma is a genius!
This candle is one of the best I have ever had! It has a lovely natural smell that fills the whole room! I burn the candle every night for hours and it lasts me what feels like forever. It’s such a soft scent that doesn’t smell synthetic and really feels like a very natural candle!
Every time I walk in when this candle is burning I comment on its loveliness. As a self confessed candle snob it takes a lot to get my attention and this candle is DIVINE. It makes me feel… warm, cosy, and, well, happy! Very different to any others I’ve had. I’ve now bought others in the range and sent as gifts to friends. When you find something a bit special, you share it! Also, the burn quality and time are as good as I’ve ever had. No funneling, no horrible soot. Hurrah!
Love the smell of the strawberry crumble candle. Not too strong that it feels like it’s invading my personal space but sweet enough that it brings a smile to my face. I’ve been burning it for days now and I’m not even half way through the candle. Will definitely get another one once my current one runs out.
I absolutely love these candles. The scent is warm and sweet but not sickly, and it fills the house. They burn evenly and cleanly, not sticking to the edges of the jar. I’ve tried many different room scents but this is my hands down favourite for quality and longevity. Worth every penny.
Bringing a Candle into Your Meditation Practice
A candle can be as much a part of your routine as the practice itself: the act of lighting it, choosing a scent, giving yourself a few minutes before you begin. Here's how to bring one into your evening or your meditation space.
Using a candle during meditation
Light your candle a few minutes before you sit down, rather than the moment you start. It gives the scent time to settle into the room instead of competing for your attention.
Many people use the act of lighting it as the first step of the ritual itself, a small, deliberate cue that tells your body it's time to slow down.
Scents for calm and grounding
Lavender, bergamot and cedarwood are well suited to slowing down. They work well for an evening sit or before sleep.
Eucalyptus and other green, airy notes suit a clearer-headed morning practice, or anything that asks for a bit more alertness alongside the calm.
Candle or diffuser?
A candle gives you the ritual: a flame to focus on, a small act of lighting and blowing out that bookends the practice.
A diffuser gives you the scent without the flame, which suits rooms you can't leave a candle unattended in, or a longer, more continuous background calm through the day.
Several of our scents come in both forms, so you can choose based on the moment rather than the fragrance.
Safe use during your wind-down
Keep your candle on a stable, heatproof surface, well away from cushions, blankets or anything you might reach for eyes closed.
Never leave it burning if you fall asleep. Blow it out before you drift off, even during a short rest at the end of a session.

FAQs
How do candles improve relaxation?
Candles help set a calming atmosphere through soft light and soothing fragrance. The ritual of lighting a candle signals a transition to a more mindful moment, reduces stress, and supports slower breathing and relaxation. Pairing this with meditation or deep breathing enhances the effect.
Are aromatherapy candles the same as scented candles?
Not exactly. All aromatherapy candles are scented, but not all scented candles are aromatherapy candles. Aromatherapy candles specifically use essential oils chosen for their potential mood and wellbeing benefits, whereas scented candles might use fragrance oils primarily for pleasant scent.
Are coconut soy candles better for relaxation?
Coconut soy candles burn cleanly and release fragrance steadily, making them ideal for relaxation routines. Their longer burn time and fewer soot emissions keep the air clearer, enhancing a calming environment.
Are scented candles good for mindfulness?
Yes, scented candles can support mindfulness by anchoring attention through smell, helping you stay present, and enhancing calm. The act of lighting a candle and breathing in soothing aromas can deepen meditation and reduce stress.
What are your candles made from?
Hand-poured in Brighton using a natural coconut soy wax blend and real essential oils, with high-quality fragrance oils where needed. We always list what's actually in a candle rather than hiding behind “fragrance.” Non-toxic and clean burning.
How long do the candles burn for?
Each candle offers a long-lasting burn time of approximately 35–40 hours, depending on the size and how well the wick is maintained.
Are the candles safe to use around pets and children?
Yes, our candles are made with non-toxic ingredients. However, as with any open flame, they should always be kept out of reach of children and pets.
Do you offer gift options or sets?
Yes, we offer discovery sets which make beautiful gifts. You can also include a personalised message at checkout.
Are your candles vegan and cruelty-free?
Absolutely. All of our candles are vegan-friendly and never tested on animals.
Can I reuse the candle jars?
Yes, once the candle has finished, the jars can be cleaned and repurposed as storage containers, plant pots, or decorative pieces.
