How to properly burn a cake or cupcake candle

Never light a pillar candle with the intention of only burning for a short while. Candles have memories strangely enough and while only melt as far as the last melt pool. Light your wick and leave the candle to burn. As it nears the outer edges, gently push the soft wax towards the center slightly all the way round. This is what is called "hugging" in the candle trade. It will contain the wax and help your candle burn all the way to the bottom. Follow this handy tip and get the best from you wax pillar.


The following 2 video's will walk you through an instructional video of "Hugging" your "Free-Standing" candle so that you can ensure the longest burn time possible for your candles.
