Baking Candles work fabulously in a crock pot!  Just put about an inch of hot water in the bottom of the crock and set the candle (still in the aluminum container) in the water ….you can have it on all day without having to worry about overheating the candle — I have had a Chocolate Pie Candle going for two days in a crock pot in my living room as a test — and it’s just smelling better and better!

This is Jane — your “Baking Candle” Chef!

I make each candle myself here at the Glory Bee facility in Kern County, California.  I work in a wonderful outdoor kitchen that is only about 50 feet from the huge beekeeping warehouse — a good thing when it comes to easily picking up the big chunks of sweet-smelling beeswax, a not-so-good thing when it comes to the bees smelling me melting their wax and deciding to come try to take it back! :) 

But I’m getting used to the loud buzzing and am having a wonderful time with this.  I’ve been a professional dessert chef and created cheesecakes anhd chocolate cakes for restaurants.  I always made each dessert as if I was making it for my own family to eat and I am bringing the same approach to Baking Candles. — except I’m making them as if they’re for my family to smell!

Last night I was making Apple Pie Candles., and it occured to me that some golden raisens would smell great along with the apples and cinammon sticks and other spices…..so I started adding them.  The night before that — I got the idea for adding a little candied lemon peel to the Apple Pie Candle….and a smidge of cinnamon to the Choclate…and just a little pure maple syrip in the Pumpkin.  My friends and family have always teased me about not being able to make the same thing twice  — I will always show up at holidays with these incredible desserts and they say “Enjoy it while you can — you’ll never see it again!”  So when it comes to creating Baking Candles, every night is different and every candle is different — the only promise that I can make is that each one will smell wonderful.

In fact — after I stir all these wonderful ingedients together with the fragrant, golden beeswax, it smells so good I have more than once almost tasted it!  But the real “secret ingredients” aren’t the maple syrup or candied lemon peel.  I think what makes these candles so special is that they are each made with love and joy and with the intention of being good for those who buy them.  Scientifically, the beeswax will clean your indoor air and calm you with its scent.  Emotionally? Well, the smell of pie takes us to happy places in our hearts!  Quantum physics would tell us that on a sub-atomic level everything (including us!) is just energy and information.  We hope that in offering these Baking Candles we can send some joyous energy from our “house” to yours!
