Zero Calorie Cake Burnished Brass Candle

A single scented candle in a solid brass vessel shaped like a tiered cake, 4" Dia × 5" H, with a burnished brass finish. It is poured in soy wax.

What it is: A hand-etched brass cake with a lid that lifts, holding a macaron-scented candle.

Why it matters: It is a celebration gift with no calories, and the brass cake stays as a keepsake box after the candle is gone.

How it works: Lift the lid and light the candle. When the wax is finished, clean the vessel and use it as a box for small treasures.

When to use it: As a birthday or anniversary gift, or on a dessert table.

What alternatives exist: A Piece of Cake is a single slice, 3.5" H. The Diya Multi-Wick Candles are larger scalloped vessels with Black Violet & Saffron.

Care: Never leave a burning candle unattended. Trim the wick to 1/4 inch before each burn. When the wax is finished, wipe the vessel clean and reuse it. To care for the brass vessel: brass changes color over time. That is natural oxidation, and many people value the patina. Dust with a soft cloth. To clean, use a soft cloth dampened with mild dish soap and warm water, wrung out until damp but not dripping, then a second cloth dampened with plain water, then dry fully. Do not use vinegar, lemon juice, baking soda, salt, abrasive cleaners, bathroom sprays, or bleach. To restore a tarnished piece, use a dedicated brass polish such as Brasso sparingly, because over-polishing removes the surface treatment.
