Off-site team building, but make it ✨lit✨

We had the best time bringing our candle-making workshop to the Relay team in downtown Toronto! A large (and lovely!) group gathered to learn the art of candle-making—blending scents, pouring wax, and getting creative—all while connecting with each other in a hands-on, relaxed setting. 🕯️💡

We specialize in off-site team-building experiences—we come to you! Whether it’s at your office, a retreat, or a special event, our workshops offer a fun and engaging way for teams to unwind, collaborate, and create something memorable together.

A huge thank you to the Relay team for bringing such great energy to the session! 💚

Looking for a unique team experience? Let’s bring the workshop to you! 🔥

Taper candles are a timeless, elegant addition to any space, and while they are often associated with the hand-dipping process, they can also be made using molds. However, this technique comes with its own unique challenges that make the process as rewarding as the final product.

Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at crafting taper candles with molds:

✔️Choosing the Mold
Taper molds are typically made of silicone or metal, designed to create that iconic slender, elongated shape.

⛓️‍💥Prepping the Wick
The wick is threaded through the center of the mold and anchored tightly to ensure it stays straight. This step is crucial because any misalignment can affect how the candle burns!

💧Pouring the Wax
Wax is melted and carefully poured into the mold. Temperature is everything here—too hot, and the mold might warp (if silicone); too cool, and the candle may form air pockets or uneven layers.

🕯️🚨Once the candle dries, the challenging part comes in! Because taper candles are long and slender, removing them from the mold can be difficult. Even a slight tug can cause cracks or surface, practice and patience is key!✨

Our Candle Breakdown:

✨ Soy + Coconut Wax
We use 100% natural waxes, sourced sustainably. Our soy wax is made in Iowa, USA, where soybeans are harvested, cleaned, cracked, and rolled into wax flakes or beads. Coconut oil undergoes a hydrogenation process to create a smooth, solid wax.

🌿 4 Signature Scents
Phthalate-free and “aroma-safe,” our fragrances are crafted for both you and the environment. Meet Cry Baby, our blue vessel, filled with calming notes of sea salt and eucalyptus.

🕯 100% Cotton Wick
Our braided, all-natural cotton wicks ensure a clean, steady burn every time.

💬 A Big Message
Each candle is thoughtfully designed to evoke a mood or emotion, encouraging acceptance, self-reflection, and open conversations. We’re here to help normalize mental health—one candle at a time.
