I'm quite partial to a scented candle so when my best friend Leanne Jones called me back in February and asked for my opinion on her latest business concept, I couldn't deny that I loved it. My favourite products are fun, quirky and indulgent and Bake Boutique Candles combine all those necessary ingredients.
After numerous trips to the States and hours upon hours holed away in each others rooms at University burning scented candles, if there's anything that Leanne and I have authority on it's baked goods, especially those ever popular cupcakes, and home fragrance. So, Leanne took her expertise in those categories and combined them to create her first collection of baked good inspired luxury candles. The collection comprises of five candles, each infused with a fun twist on a traditional bake.
So what makes Bake Boutique different from other home fragrance companies that have tackled cakey scents before them? Firstly, did you know that if a candle burns evenly it means that the wax is of extremely good quality? Nope, neither did I but I found this very useful information when burning some of my other luxury candles and discovering that despite the price tag, they probably didn't cost too much to make. I'm actually sat here burning my favourite of the collection, Vanilla Cupcake with Sprinkles and I can happily report back that there is no ugly, lopsided wax action going on. They are 100% soy wax and hand poured, surprisingly in London. Although the initial concept may have been born American, the execution is very much British.
There's a sophisticated charm to the scent also. I've had many cake, coffee and spice infused candles before and although I've liked most of them in their own special way, a lot of the time they can fall into the trap of being just a little too sickly sweet and overpowering after long burning times. With Bake Boutique the scent is meandering through the room with an elegant softness. My favourite part with this particular fragrance is that you can literally smell the sprinkles and can imagine just how the cake would look if it was sat in front of you. Of course you needn't imagine, each candle has it's very own recipe that you can acquire from their website. Fun! The packaging is undeniably delicious too, just like it's candle counterpart, making it suitable for any room in the house without spoiling your decor.
At £32 they aren't cheap but teamed with everything mentioned above, a 50 hour burning time and the fact you'd be saving yourself thousands of calories in the process, they're well worth the indulgence. As mentioned, my home is sporting the Vanilla Cupcake with Sprinkles but Cinnamon Gingerbread Man would be a nice addition in this festive period and Almond Coffee Cake has been a hit with the men!
