Natural Beeswax Birthday Candles

Every special cake deserves an equally special finishing touch. We are incredibly proud to stock Hōhepa Birthday Candles in our central city patisserie. These aren't just ordinary accessories; they are a celebration of New Zealand craftsmanship and meaningful community work.

Each set of ten candles is meticulously handcrafted in the Hōhepa Hawke's Bay candle studio using 100 percent local beeswax and natural cotton wicks. Unlike standard paraffin alternatives, these beeswax candles offer a beautiful, clean burn and a subtle, natural scent. They come in a charming assortment of colors, making them the perfect accompaniment to any of our celebration cakes or dessert boxes.

Founded in the early 1980s, the Hōhepa Candle Studio provides vital work opportunities for individuals with intellectual disabilities. By choosing these candles for your special day, you are directly supporting a unique collaborative space that celebrates creative talent. Pick up a set of Hōhepa Birthday Candles along with your order today and add a layer of purpose and beauty to your next celebration.

Each set of 10 candles are assorted colours.

Never leave burning candles unattended, burn for two hours at a time, keep them away from drafts, and trim the wick to 1cm before lighting.

Dietary and Allergen Advice
