Whipped Candle Recipe

We’ve All Whipped Cream, But Have You Ever Whipped a Candle?

Item	Description
300 grams of Soy Wax Flakes	A natural wax that burns cleanly and evenly.
10-15 drops of Fragrance Oil (Frais)	Freesia fragrance adds a fresh and floral aroma to your candle.
5-10 drops of Candle Colourants	Customize your candle with your preferred color(s).
1 Wick	Ensure the wick is suitable for the size of your container.
1 Wick Holder	Keeps the wick centered while the wax sets.
1 Piping Bag	Used to pipe the whipped wax into decorative swirls and peaks.
1 Glass Container	A transparent, heat-resistant container to showcase your candle.

Prepare the Wick: Secure the wick in the center of your glass container using a wick holder or adhesive.
Melt the Wax: In a double boiler, melt 300 grams of soy wax flakes. Stir occasionally to ensure an even melt.
Add Fragrance & Colour: Once the wax is melted, remove it from heat and let it cool to about 135°F (57°C). Add 10-15 drops of fragrance oil and 5-10 drops of colorants. Stir well.
Divide the Wax: Pour enough wax into your container to cover the bottom. Let it harden before moving on to the next step.
Whip the Remaining Wax: Allow the remaining wax to cool until it thickens but is still pliable. Use an electric hand mixer to whip the wax until creamy.
Pipe the Candle: Spoon the whipped wax into a piping bag and pipe it on top of the hardened base layer in your container.
Set the Candle: Let the candle set at room temperature. This can take several hours depending on the temperature of your room.
Trim the Wick: Once the candle has fully set, trim the wick to 1/4 inch for a controlled burn.
Enjoy: Your beautifully whipped candle is now ready to light! Enjoy the glow and fragrance.

If the wax hardens too quickly while whipping, gently reheat it to soften before continuing.
Experiment with layering different colors for a visually stunning effect.
Always test burn your candle to ensure your wick size is correct for your container.
