Product Insights
Yummi Candles' Taper Colourful Elongated Candles Set Of 2 is an 8 CAD matched pair of unscented, hand-dipped tapers whose entire value proposition rests on colour rather than scent: with no noticeable smell when burning, the shade choice becomes the mood lever, running from calming Hazelnut, Baby Pink and Dusky Pink to celebratory Golden Yellow and Burnt Orange, all drawn from a Canadian brand's 45-shade hand-dipped range yet priced identically so switching colour never changes pack size or cost. The colour itself is a thick hand over-dip by a trained chandler over a pure white wax core, cured deeper and truer by the paraffin base than a soy one would allow, holding its shade unlit and deepening into a two-tone white-core glow once lit, concealed even as the candle burns down. The lead-free all-cotton braided wick curls and self-trims for an even flame, a pre-burned taper reaches steady flame about five minutes sooner than a fresh one, and the pair is rated roughly 7 hours per candle — about 14 hours together — best burned in tidy 3-4 hour sessions. Its clearest promise is also its main tradeoff: dripless, smokeless performance holds only in a draft-free environment with the wick trimmed to about 1/4 inch, since a breeze most shortens burn time and burns tapers unevenly, making outdoor use contingent on a glass hurricane holder or lantern, while storage flat in a cool dark place guards against warping. And because each pack is a single matched shade with only tiny handcrafted variation, a two-tone or mixed-colour table scheme requires buying two 8 CAD sets. Buyers treat it as unlit shelf and mantle decor as readily as an elegant, food-friendly dinner-table or bath taper, and at that price it lands as a small gift — currently out of stock, with 7 reviews.
Verified claims
- Unscented
- Yummi candles are unscented, and buyers report no noticeable smell when burning.
- Color mood
- With the scent gone, the shade choice sets the mood — soft pinks calm, warm tones pop.
- Color finish
- The colour is a thick, even coating over a white core, concealed even as the candle burns down.
- Dripless and smokeless burn
- Yummi candles burn dripless and smokeless when used correctly in a draft-free environment with the wick trimmed to 1/4 inch.
- Outdoor use
- A breeze blows out an open taper, so outdoor use needs a glass hurricane holder or lantern.
- Burn time
- Rated approximately 7 hours of burn, in tidy 3-4 hour sessions out of drafts.
- Draft sensitivity
- Drafts shorten the burn time most; outdoors, shield the flame in a hurricane or lantern.
- Colour when lit
- Lit, the shade deepens and brightens with a two-tone white-core glow.
- Colour rendering
- Paraffin cures the dye deeper and truer than a soy base would.
- Colour palette
- Shades run from calm pinks and neutrals to celebratory Golden Yellow and Burnt Orange.
- Colourway pricing
- All five colourways cost the same 8 CAD, and each pack is a single shade.
- Hand-dipped finish
- Colour is a thick hand over-dip over a pure white core, concealed even as it burns.
- Colour depth
- Colours read rich and true in the paraffin, deepening once the melt pool opens.
- Wick self-trimming
- Lead-free all-cotton braided wick curls and self-trims for an even burn.
- Warp prevention
- Store flat in cool, dark place and avoid drafts to prevent warping.
- Pack composition
- Each 8 CAD set is two matched tapers in the one shade chosen at checkout.
- Colour parity
- All five shades are the same 8 CAD, and switching shade never changes the pack size.
- Pack value
- The 8 CAD set is rated about 7 hours of burn per candle, roughly 14 hours for the pair.
- Palette split
- The five shades split into soft neutrals and pinks and two saturated warm accents.
- Colour appearance
- A hand-dipped coloured shell over a white core gives lit tapers a two-tone glow.
- Available colors
- Hazelnut, Baby Pink, Dusky Pink, Golden Yellow and Burnt Orange — Hazelnut the default, from a 45-shade brand range.
- Placement
- A breeze blows these out and burns them unevenly, so outdoor use needs a glass hurricane.
- Craft process
- Colours are hand over-dipped by a trained chandler over a white wax core.
- Brand range
- Yummi Candles is a Canadian brand with a 45-shade hand-dipped taper range.
- Pack contents
- Each pack is a matched pair in one colour; a two-tone scheme needs two packs.
- Wick care
- Trim the lead-free cotton wick to about 1/4 inch before each burn.
- Unlit decor
- Buyers keep the pair unlit on shelves and mantles as decor on its own.
- Dinner table
- An elegant dinner-table taper: a classic shape with a festive colour, unscented so it won't compete with food.
- Colour mood
- Colour is the mood lever: soft pinks and Hazelnut calm a setting, Golden Yellow and Burnt Orange add celebration.
- Mixed colour schemes
- Each pack is one matched colour, so mixing two shades for a table means buying two 8 CAD sets.
- Color depth
- Hand-dipped colour over a white wax core holds its shade unlit and deepens to a warmer tone when lit.
- Price parity
- Every shade costs the same 8 CAD as a matched set of 2, so a two-colour scheme means two sets.

Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Taper Colourful Elongated Candles Set Of 2: Choose this for adding a colorful, elegant touch to a dinner table, relaxing bath, or even an unlit shelf display — reviewers noted the simple classic design looks pretty on its own, and one Reddit user testing colored tapers found Yummi candles did okay after 3.5 hours of burning. Each candle is 0.75 inches by 10 inches (2 by 26 cm) with a cotton braided wick, made of scentless food-grade paraffin wax, and comes as a set of 2 in colors like Hazelnut, Baby Pink, Dusky Pink, Golden Yellow, and Burnt Orange. The listed burn time is approximately 7 hours, though the retailer does not specify whether that applies per candle or to the set.[1,2] | Taper Elongated Conical Candles Set Of 12: Choose this if you want a set of 12 unscented paraffin tapers with a braided cotton wick and an approximate 8-hour burn time, sized at 0.75 by 12 inches, for festive tablescapes, formal place settings, or hosting several gatherings from one box. Reviewers praised the vibrant, true-to-display colors and clean, drip-free burning that stays upright over table linens, though one review noted the color is a surface coating rather than solid through the candle, which may disappoint those expecting a uniform hue as it burns.[3] | Taper Ultra-Long Conical Candles Set Of 12: Choose these if you want ultra-long 15-inch conical tapers for a cozy, elegant table setting, sold as a set of 12 in Off White or Taupe. They are scentless food-grade paraffin with a cotton braided wick and an approximate 10-hour burn time per candle under the brand's stated 3 to 4 hour burn cycles in a draft-free indoor space. Note that as handcrafted candles, dimensions can vary by about 1/16 inch in diameter and 1/4 inch in height, so the brand recommends Stickum or trimming the base to stabilize them in holders, and one tester found they burned 6.5 inches in 3.5 hours, calling them a decent option for colored tapers.[2,4,5,6] |

Candle burn time comparison 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.

Comparison of Yummi to Temu and praise for unscented candles
Stop shopping at Temu and Shein. The items are trash. Have heard great things from friends who used Yummi because they are unscented which is difficult to find in local stores.

Negative experience with Yummi candle color and customer service
Do not buy from Yummi Candles. I'm now receiving a third shipment of candles from them because the first two shipments are extremely different from their website pictures. I ordered Sandstone (cream/tan color) candles last month and they came in as a dark purple. Over two weeks and 20 emails later, they finally agreed to give me another shipment of candles, but couldn't clarify if the new shipment would be the correct shade of sandstone or dark purple. New shipment comes in... even darker purple.

Experience with Yummi candles burning 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?
