Our Story
Welcome! I'm Paula, the owner of Baking Bliss Candles & Gifts, where I bring the delightful scents of freshly baked desserts into your home with my charming dessert candles. Whether you're in search of a cake, pie, or any sweet treat-themed candle, I've got you covered.
​
​For more than a decade, I ran a home-based bakery, making everything from simple cupcakes to stunning wedding cakes. However, when the pandemic struck, my bakery faced significant challenges, leading to its closure. During this uncertain time, I discovered a new creative outlet in candlemaking, inspired by my passion for baking. I began creating delightful dessert-themed candles that embody the essence of my favorite treats. This allowed me to express my artistic side and feed my creativity, ensuring that, whether through frosting or fragrance, I could continue to share sweetness with the world.
​
​At Baking Bliss Candles & Gifts, I take pride in using premium-quality, non-toxic ingredients to hand-pour each candle in small batches. All of my products are made with phthalate-free fragrance oils, all-natural soy wax and/or beeswax, and cotton wicks. ​
