Honour birthdays, milestones or moon cycles as the ancient Greeks did by adorning a cake with these delightful, tall and slender beeswax candles. Each flame represents a year lived or cycle complete. Legend has it that round honey cakes adorned with beeswax candles were made to honour Artemis, the goddess of the moon at each lunar month.

Natural beeswax birthday candles will drip less, last longer and are “taste-safe” compared to standard paraffin wax birthday candles.

Why Beeswax?

Beeswax candles are the gold standard of all waxes as they burn cleanly, brightly, and produce a delicate natural honey scent. This candle was made using a traditional technique of dipping a pair joined by a single wick into hot wax. Layer by layer the candles grow leaving each one with it’s own variations and character. 

Burn with care

Burn your candle with care and attention. If you're lighting outside; hold your hands around the flame until the candles have had enough time to start drawing wax up through the wick. This will help them stay lit in the outdoor air.

A candle placed in a draft will flicker rapidly creating wax drips. The wax is "taste safe" and non-toxic so don't worry if some drips onto the cake.

Children are very drawn to candles, they won’t be able to keep their hands off, please supervise very carefully.

Birthday Week Ritual

Birthday candles have long been used to invoke blessings, ward off misfortune, and represent the delicate balance between life and death. Extend your birthday blessings beyond the cake by burning the left over candles at dinner each evening to continue the release of your birthday intentions for as long as the candles last.
