FAQ’s

Are Cookie Candle’s safe?

Absolutely yes! 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.

What are the ingredients? Do you cater for dietary requirements/ allergies?

Unfortunately at this time we cannot make any changes to our recipe. All Cookie Candles contain egg, gluten (from wheat ) and butter (from dairy ). A nutritional panel and detailed ingredient label is provided with every order and all information can be found on our product listings.

How do I store my Cookie Candle? What's the shelf life?

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 have a shelf life of around 6 weeks, they are still safe to eat after this but may lose their freshness and nutritional content.

Can they be posted?

Sure can! We offer postage Australia wide with express options available. We also have FREE contactless local pickup (Boronia, Vic) and FREE standard shipping for orders $60 and above. We may refuse shipping on days 30° or above due to risk if the wick melting.

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.

HOT TIPS!

  • Our wicks are designed to be easily removable, and sometimes fall out. If this happens, put it back in! If it's leaning, gently straighten before lighting.

  • Like any birthday candle, Cookie Candles are best used out of the weather. Wind is like giant breath right?

  • Cookie Candles can be re-lit or used twice (if you can hold off from eating it and your family sings quickly enough both times).

  • All Cookie Candles are portable, and the sticks/ inserts are removable. This means you can hold them and use them without a cake! Cookie Candles are a great option for restaurants or small celebrations where you don't need a whole cake but still want to sing.
