Time to make your own cute cake candle!
Have you ever thought of making your own cake candle?
Not the same one by pouring the wax..
But making the "unique: one with the shape that you just dreamed about!
Hi! I am Pretthing, a candle-making creator who designs actual desserts for candles. :)
In the very first class I made in CLASS101, I focused on introducing Classmates to the dessert candle and we went through the procedure of making candles and drinks. The first class got 99% on class satisfaction, thanks to you all:) ♥ This is my third class to produce in CLASS101 following my second one, the antique candle-making class!
Let's become dessert candle experts with me!
The essential of making the cake candle!
The complete conquest of making a buttery cream
In this class, we'll learn about Pretthing's secret mixing method for creating real soft, chewy buttery cream in 3-step.
Following my step, your buttery cream will never harden quickly while you're working on this procedure.
On top of that, I will also share some tips on how to maintain the cream concentration and store it.
A to Z about the cream of the cake candle!
From various pod techniques to English lettering
Once you have a chewy and buttery cream, let's learn various techniques to pipe the cream using basic pods.
To take your work beyond the level, solid foundations for piping techniques are mandatory. Thus, I will help you to acquire that technique in depth from multiple angles.
The most important part of a piping strategy, such as a lot on the concentration of the cream, your grip, and also from pod type to pod is all included in this class thoroughly.
To follow writing down the letters easily and professionally, I'm providing you the class worksheets. If you practice it regularly on your own, you'll be able to make those lettering in to yours!
In addition to the lettering you've learned in this class, I'll also introduce you different styles of lettering.
Cake candle decoration!
Colorful sprinkles to make your cake much fancier
Have you ever seen the colorful sprinkles on a cake:)?
Try making sprinkles that add details to your cake candles. In addition to straight ones, I also try making round ones and even heart ones!
You can make a variety type of sprinkles and decorate them in a variety of ways depending on the cake style!
Pretthings THIRD CLASS in CLASS101.
From detailed and friendly explanations to secret notes and cake design notes!
Pretthing's patent! A secret notebook full of know-how that can determine the completeness of a cake candle this time, too, I carefully prepared it.
Did you know that small differences can make the cake candle quality much higher?
This class contains information on how to correct these minor mistakes and how to add quality by changing the direction to apply the cream.
Pretthing's second class note! Even after finishing the course, you can try making a cake candle on your own based on the design note I prepared for you all.
To work without any failure, it would be better to make a plan on design notes before working on the cake candle. I made this class note to reduce those kinds of mistakes.
Pretthing's secret notes and cake design notes are provided free of charge along with the class.
It contains local dealers that are difficult to find by yourself, and also the materials and tools which are required for each work. In addition, it is designed so that you can directly fill in the main information by yourself too! So feel free to make it into YOUR OWN secret note!

Required for the class
Here is an introduction to the kit.

Able to improve quality
We will introduce additional components.
Although they are not included in the basic kit, we recommend tools that you must have when making candles and that can help you make them.
1. Hot plate
Candles are not natural, they are fillers with a high melting point, so microwaves don't melt the wax completely, and the amount of wax used in this class is too large, so be sure to buy them if you don't have a hot plate
2. Scales
Measuring the correct ratio of wax and fragrance is very important when it comes to fragrance. Follow the creator's class for accurate weighing.
3. Thermometer
It is a special thermometer that can measure temperature stably from a beaker or paper cup as well as stainless steel. It can measure from minus 10 to 110 degrees in the video, and unlike ordinary thermometers, it has a plastic cover and can be used by hanging it on a stainless steel ring, so you can place the thermometer stably.
4. Whipper
When mixing large amounts of wax and dye, you can do it by hand, but the amount is too large, so it's hard on your wrist. For easy mixing, buy a whipper together and make it easy and fast.
5. Hit Gun
A must-have tool for candle making, the hot gun can be used in a variety of techniques, such as melting the surface of a container candle. The intensity of the heat can be adjusted up to 2 steps with a simple button operation, and it can also be used to remove air bubbles from the candle while increasing the heat.
📌 Precautions
- Never touch the metal nozzle with your hands, as it is very hot during use and remains hot for up to 30 minutes after use.
- Use a floor holder to cool completely before storing.
- The heat is very strong, so be sure to read the precautions and be careful when using it.
- There may be smoke or smell from the first to the third time. This is a smoke generated by the combustion of the finishing material inside the hot air fan while the motor is running, so it is not a defective product.
6. Hot top
When creating a large work, the melted wax may harden more and more as you work on it. Hot Top is recommended as a necessary tool to maintain the wax formula.
7. 3 types of pots
This stainless steel product is essential for melting wax. Buy it as a set of 3 sizes: 200, 800, and 1000 ml.
8. Brother Lee
It is a release agent that easily separates the candle from the mold. It is a tool that forms a uniform film when making a candle using a mold so that the candle does not stick to the inner wall of the mold.
[How to use]
- Shake the container thoroughly before use
- Spray at a distance of 20 to 30 cm from the mold
- If there is little content left, change the direction of the nozzle and use it
🚚 This is a shipping guide.
- Depending on the availability of inventory, kit components may be shipped in place of other similar products.
