Variety of Bakery Candle Designs

The following designs are most common not just in bakery candles, but all other themes or types of scented candles today:

 

  • Jar, Filled or Container Candles – The production of this type of candle is done through pouring the wax into a metal, glass, or ceramic container. There are other materials utilized to make container or filled jar candles, depending on who is creating them, handmade or manufactured. This design is to have the candle wax specifically contained and held in order to withstand the burning heat. Bakery candles in this style will usually have the fragrance of a bakery or dessert (in a manufactured candle, such as Yankee), or they can have a more creative design with fruit, nut, and whipped toppings to give them a special dessert look and feel.
  • Pillar Candles – Also referred to as a free-standing candle, this type is usually measured 3 inches or more in diameter with one or more candle wicks. Although the pillar variants are also called column candles, it could also come in square, circle, hexagonal, and other possible shapes. Stand-alone candles, as the name implies, may stand on their own, however, there is still the need for a heat-resistant holder when burning the candle. Bakery pillars will be even more different in variety, including a caked pillar or a bundt cake style candle that will burn without being contained. Another example would be a pillar style bread loaf candle, such as banana nut bread.
  • Taper Candles – This type of candle is slender with typically 6 to 18 inches height. Taper candles are also sometimes referred to as dinner candles and designed with a candle holder so that it is securely held upright. Taper dessert candles are generally going to be found in scent only. Since the shape of the candle is narrower, and designed to fit into a narrow candle holder, there aren’t as many design varieties due to this limitation; however, taper candles can be found in primitive caked style.
  • Votive Candles – With a small cylindrical shape, this type of candle usually has a diameter of 1 ½ inches and height of 2 or 2 ½ inches. Votive candles are placed in votive holders or cups in order to contain the liquefied wax when the candle is burned. The original version of votive candles is white and unscented and utilized for religious ceremonies. However, contemporary votive candles are now scented and come in various colors and designs. Votive bakery candles are more plentiful in variety, much like pillar standalone candles. They can be found in small breads, caked votive style, mini cakes, and many other fun forms.
  • Gel Candles – This type is usually made from gelled synthetic hydrocarbons or gelled mineral oils. The transparent-type of candle is produced through pouring the quasi-rigid or soft gel into the container of various sizes and shapes. There is a decorative wax item that is often blended and suspended with the gel in order to create a special visual effect. Bakery style gel candles are used in making many varieties of pies, sundaes, jelly style jar candles, and used in many designs that are predominantly using other waxes.
  • Tealight Candles – Known for their small and cylindrical shape, tea light candles are also filled candle variants as they are often dispensed into a metal holder or, more recently plastic, during production. The usual measurement of this candle type is 1 ½ inches in height and 1 inch in diameter. Bakery scented tea lights are a little more flexible in design, since they are container style. You may find bakery style varieties of them with crumbles and drizzles.
