Product Insights
Yummi Candles' taper set offers a dripless, smokeless, unscented burn with self-trimming wicks, appealing for bulk events where quality matters more than discount alternatives, but tradeoffs include significant color inaccuracies, poor customer service with no refunds for color issues, and candles that may require adhesive to fit standard holders and sit slightly off-level due to handcrafted variation.
Verified claims
- Color accuracy
- Buyers report colors darker than on website across all options.
- Customer service
- Buyers report customer service can be difficult, with delays and lack of clarity.
- 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.
- Holder fit
- Each candle has a 0.75-inch diameter, slightly narrower than a standard 7/8-inch taper holder, so it may need candle adhesive or melted wax to sit snugly.
- Straightness
- Candles are generally straight but may sit slightly off-level due to handcrafted variation of roughly +/- 1/16 inch in diameter and +/- 1/4 inch in height.
- Wick self-trimming
- Flat-plaited wick curls and self-trims, reducing uneven burn.
- Warp prevention
- Store flat in cool, dark place and avoid drafts to prevent warping.
- Dripless design
- Hard-shell food-grade paraffin wax and cotton braided wick prevent dripping and self-trim carbon.
- Unscented
- Yummi candles are unscented, and buyers report no noticeable smell when burning.
- Return policy
- Buyers report refunds are often refused.
- Available colors
- The available colors include Hazelnut, Baby Pink, Dusky Pink, Golden Yellow, and Burnt Orange.
- Wax clean-up
- If the food-grade paraffin wax drips, it can be cleaned from surfaces with warm water and mild soap after it hardens.

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?
