Colorful drip-resistant tapers for dinners and events
Burn these colorful tapers at dinners, weddings, or special events where you want decorative candles that hold up while lit. The manufacturer says their hard-shell wax construction with an all-cotton wick prevents dripping, and the tapers fit any standard taper holder. In one commenter's test, Yummi tapers burned about 6.5 inches over 3.5 hours, which they called a decent option for colored tapers.[2,3]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Taper Colourful Candles Set Of 2: Choose this for colorful, scentless taper candles that add a cozy, elegant ambiance to dinners, weddings, or special occasions. Each set includes two 25.5 cm (10 inch) paraffin tapers with a cotton wick, an approximate 7-hour burn time, and six color options such as Green, Midnight Blue, Red, and Burgundy. Note that burn times are approximations that assume short burn cycles in a draft-free space, and one customer reported the colors did not match the photos.[1,2,4] | Taper Colourful Elongated Candles Set Of 2: Choose this if you want colorful, scentless tapers for table decor, gifts, or home styling: each candle is 0.75 by 10 inches with a cotton braided wick, food-grade paraffin wax, and an approximate 7-hour burn time, sold as a set of 2 in colors like Hazelnut, Baby Pink, and Burnt Orange. Reported customer experiences describe a clean burn with no dripping or smoke and an elegant look at formal dinners. Note that one reviewer's burn test found they did only okay after 3.5 hours, and another buyer reported shipments that looked extremely different from the brand's website pictures, so color expectations may warrant a test run.[3,5,6] | Taper Elongated Conical Candles Set Of 2: Choose this if you want unscented taper candles for a cozy, elegant table setting: these scentless food-grade paraffin candles have cotton braided wicks, burn approximately 7 hours, and measure 0.75 inches by 10 inches, sold as a set of 2 in Black, White, or Off White. Note that color accuracy can be a concern—one shopper reported receiving dark purple candles instead of the ordered Sandstone shade, even after a replacement shipment.[6,7] |

One commenter suggested Amazon has better options due to color and return issues with Yummi.

Burn test comparison of taper candles including Yummi Candles
Yummi Candles and CANDWAX (from Amazon) did okay after 3.5 hours = 6.5 inches. It’s a decent option for colored tapers and Yummi is a good deal if you buy in bulk.

Negative review citing color mismatch and poor customer service
I cannot recommend Yummi Candles at all. The colors are not like the photos, and you have to pay to return them. They also do not answer emails or their phone, I had to go through their instagram to even get my return request approved. stay away, amazon has better options!

Experience with Yummi candles causing burned glass
I’ve used Yummi over the years and do find that the glass can get a bit burned looking… however I’m not sure if it was just the colored candles that had that affect, or the white/ivory as well. Might be worth a test run?
