  • 5/5 from Jennifer Zhou, attended Sep 2026: I super enjoyed this session. The trickiest part is still the pouring of the icing and I think it will always be the trickiest part. These are really great gifts, no matter who receives them, the receiver of the dessert candle gifts are always so glad and grateful because they are cute and unique.
  • 5/5 from Jennifer Zhou, attended Sep 2026: I loved this workshop, my family keeps asking for them, we love the scents and how cute the candles look when it’s lit in the room.
  • 5/5 from Jennifer Zhou, attended Sep 2026: I was a lovely session and I had a wonderful time. My family enjoyed the candles as gifts and they make the room smell very nice when its lit.
  • 5/5 from Mary Lee, attended Aug 2026: Teacher’s instruction was quick and easy to follow. The class was well organized, and I really enjoyed the overall experience. I would definitely recommend it to others!
  • 5/5 from Zoe Mackenzie, attended Aug 2026: So much fun! Definitely recommend
  • 5/5 from April Sacluti, attended Aug 2026: So much fun! Our teacher was very informative and organised. Her instructions were clear and extremely helpful! I love that there were so many shapes and sizes of the candle mould to choose from, allowing for so much creativity!
  • 5/5 from Jennifer Zhou, attended Aug 2026: Lovely workshop, this time I made all my toppings instead of using pre-made ones, it was lovely and I liked the result of it. Guess which one will be given to a baby shower?
  • 5/5 from Isla Arabit, attended Aug 2026: my friends and i had an amazing time during this class with Heidi! she was a great teacher throughout the class and made the whole candle making process very easy. I loved how there was different types of cakes we could make for our second option, and also loved picking and creating our own toppings too. we would love to do another candle making class!
  • 5/5 from Jennifer Zhou, attended Aug 2026: Today I booked for both the morning and afternoon sessions, Heidi is so patient and wonderful and gives clear instructions. She gives really good hints and advice when it comes to mixing colours and how to make the right colours for the base and toppings. I made a really cute dessert candle and a donut candle.
  • 5/5 from Jennifer Zhou, attended Aug 2026: Today’s morning session was wonderfully intimate because there were only three people. I also made a multicoloured cocktail candle, and I found the more colours there are the better the turn out. The cocktail candle uses different wax compared to the dessert candles and the colours are more vibrant. So when you book a session for 3 x candles, you get unique candles. Really recommend this.
  • 5/5 from Fatima Janoowalla, attended Aug 2026: I had such an amazing time at this candle dessert making class!

I highly recommend this class to anyone looking for a creative and enjoyable experience. I’ll definitely be back for another class!
  • 5/5 from Jo Besly, attended Aug 2026: We had a lovely afternoon in a secret little studio high up above the hustle and bustle of the city. Our teacher was very experienced and helped us create some amazing candles. Lots of supplies and plenty of options. Highly recommend.

I appreciate the attention she gave all of us.
  • 5/5 from Rosa Man, attended Jun 2026: My friends and I went to this and had a lot of fun! We each made a sponge cake and got to choose a 2nd dessert to make.
