The Journey of Candlebites - From Passion to Creation

Welcome to Candlebites, where every candle is a sensory journey and a tribute to the world’s most delightful aromas. As the founder of Candlebites, I am thrilled to share the story behind our unique candles and my journey to becoming a candle maker.

The Inspiration Behind Candlebites

Candlebites was born from a passion for creativity and a desire to bring unique candles to people. Scents have an incredible power to evoke strong memories and emotions, transporting us to different times and places. This realisation sparked my journey to create candles that are not just sources of light but also carriers of meaningful and memorable experiences.

After 3 years of experimenting and refining my craft, I discovered my niche: creating candles that resonate with the rich and diverse cultures of Singapore. Each candle is a tribute to the scents, flavors, and traditions that define this vibrant city, offering a unique way to celebrate and remember these cultural treasures.

The Journey to Becoming a Candle Maker

Becoming a candle maker wasn’t an easy journey. My initial attempts to craft candles on my own almost resulted in a kitchen fire! Realising the need for proper training, I sought out professional courses to learn different techniques and hone my craft. Through dedication and hard work, I became a certified candle maker, with aspirations to teach others what I’ve learned in the future.

Over the past three years, building my customer base has been another significant challenge. It was crucial to understand what people truly wanted in a candle. Listening to feedback, experimenting with different scents, and creating products that resonate with customers' desires have been key elements of this journey.

Crafting Process and Unique Selling Points

The crafting process is a labor of love. I enjoy experimenting and working with different waxes to see what will work best. Things don’t always turn out the way I want them to, but that’s all part of the process. Each trial and error brings me closer to perfecting my craft and creating candles that truly stand out.

What makes Candlebites unique is our ability to capture the local delights of the different cultures in Singapore and bring them to you in candle form. From the rich, aromatic notes of local desserts to the delicate floral scents of native botanicals, each Candlebites creation offers a sensory experience that is both unique and evocative.

Looking Ahead

At Candlebites, we are committed to bringing you candles that are more than just sources of light. They are experiences, crafted with care and passion. As we continue to grow, I look forward to sharing more of our journey, new creations, and the inspiration behind each candle. Thank you for joining us on this aromatic adventure.

Scentfully Yours,
