Candles That Smell (& Sometimes Look) Like Dessert

Candles That Smell Like Cake

Probably our favorite dessert scented candles are cake scented candles. Whether it’s the deliciously spicy Carrot Cake from Josephine & Joy or the light, lemony sweetness of Lemon Cake Pop from Bath & Body Works, we simply love cake scented candles.

The important notes that really make for great cake scented candles are the batter or buttery notes. If there is an added element of sweet frosting, that is often considered a welcome treat. Some cake scented candles are heavier on the cake than the frosting and others vice versa. It’s often a good idea to check the reviews to see which way a particular scent might lean, if that’s important to you.

Chocolate cake scented candles can be hard to get right. We find that chocolate sometimes has a burnt smell to it if burned too long. We’ve rounded up 5 of the best chocolate cake scented candles to help steer you in the right direction.

Vanilla cake scents are fairly common and seemingly delicious from a number of different companies, both with and without frosting! Take Vanilla Cupcake from Chesapeake Bay or that from Colonial Candle. Both are yum-licious!
