FAQ’s

Are Cookie Candle’s safe?

Absolutely! Even the wick's 'wax' is food, so all elements are food safe. Cookie Candles are safe to consume once the wick and stick have been removed and discarded. Always supervise young children around Cookie Candles. The wicks and decorations (such as sprinkles) may pose a choking hazard, particularly to children under 3. Trust your child with a Cookie Candle as you would trust them with a lit birthday candle.

How do I store my Cookie Candle?

Cookie Candles need to be stored in a cool, dark and dry place such as a pantry or cupboard. They CANNOT go into the fridge, however they can be stored in the freezer for several months until you need them. Simply defrost in the original packaging a couple of hours before you need it. Once the packaging is opened, they stay fresh around a week. Cookie Candles generally have a shelf life of around 6 weeks, they are still safe to eat after this but may lose their freshness and nutritional content.

Do you make Custom Cookie Candles?

Yes! Our most popular choice by far, the sky is the limit. Check out our Custom Cookie Candle page for more information.

Are Cookie Candles eco-friendly? How are they packaged?

Absolutely! Unlike traditional birthday candles, Cookie Candles contain zero paraffin wax, and they end up in your tummy or compost bin - rather than landfill.

We also pack our Cookie Candles in the most eco-friendly way possible, while still keeping maximum freshness.
