Product Insights

Yummi Candles' Taper Ultra-Long Conical Candles Set Of 12, at CAD 28, promises value and clean-burning elegance with food-grade paraffin and no petroleum odor, but demands meticulous preparation: refrigeration, wick trimming, and draft-free conditions for dripless performance. Burn time yields 6.5 inches after 3.5 hours versus West Elm's 7.5, yet the set is cheaper per taper. The main tradeoff is color accuracy—taupe often mismatches online images, and replacement shipments may also be wrong, with customer service reported as unhelpful. Hand-dipped tapers require secure fitting and flat storage to avoid warping, and dripless performance only holds in strictly draft-free environments.

Verified claims

Color accuracy
Taupe candles often arrive with a color significantly different from online images.
Color returns
Some buyers report poor customer service for color mismatches.
Burn time
After 3.5 hrs, 6.5 in remain vs West Elm's 7.5 in.
Value
12-pack at CAD 28 is cheaper per taper than West Elm.
Burn performance
Covers 2-4 hour events in draft-free conditions; longer events need replacement.
Color consistency
Color may not match website; replacement shipments also mismatched.
Setup
Use Stickum or trim bases for secure fit; refrigerate before use for even burn.
Draft-free
Dripless performance requires a strictly draft-free environment.
Wick trimming
Trim the wick to 1/4 inch before each burn to prevent dripping.
Burn cycles
Three-to-four-hour burn cycles and refrigeration before use prevent dripping.
Color and service risks
Buyers report color mismatches so severe that multiple replacement shipments are required.
Customer service
Multiple replacement shipments still arrive in the wrong color.
Preparation
For optimal burning: chill candles, store flat, trim wick, and secure in holders.
Burning
Use 3-4 hour burn cycles in a draft-free space for dripless performance.
Material
Food-grade paraffin with less than 0.5% oil burns without petroleum odor or sticky residue.
Dimensional consistency
Hand-dipped tapers may require trimming or adhesive wax for a snug fit, and must be stored flat to avoid warping.
Stability
Requires a weighted, wide-base holder and protection from drafts.
Fit
Use Stickum or trim candle base for a snug fit due to diameter variations.
Storage
Store flat and individually wrapped to prevent warping.
Heritage

Longues et élégantes,une couleur qui s’ agence à une multitude de teintes. Je commande depuis plusieurs années les chandelles Yummi et je suis très contente de pouvoir les acquérir par mon magasin Simons. Je souhaiterais que les bougies piliers soient disponibles aussi !

  • Burn time comparison: Yummi vs other taper brands

    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.

  • Color inconsistency and poor 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.

  • Positive recommendation for bulk taper candles

    That’s where we got ours too. They were the best price I could find, especially in bulk and a variety of complementary sizes. They were also quick to send replacements when a few candleholders arrived broken.
