15 Deceptive Food-Inspired Candles

From Orange Peel Wicks to Sweet Flaming Confections

These food-inspired candles make the most of candle wax, and are far more inventive than most votives out there.

Often incorporating smell as well as appearance, these illuminators have an added dash of personality that help create a more warm environment for guests to enjoy. Though some scents are a tad more universally appealing than others, scents like bacon and sausage seem to have gained some popularity among niche markets. Charismatic, and with a ton of fun design added into the mix, these candles keep home decor from being too stuffy or predictable.

Though definitely not for everyone, these inventive votives are mixing up the candle industry and providing plenty of inspiration for home decor designers. Far from traditional, but offbeat in a wonderful way, these food-inspired candles are practically good enough to eat.
