6.3 Inch Thin Beeswax Taper Candles for Church and Birthday

6.3 Inch Thin Beeswax Tapers

A thin taper 6.3 inches long and about a fifth of an inch across, the size that goes into church candle stands and into a birthday cake by the box. The narrow body lights quickly and burns about 40 minutes, which suits a service, a single song, or a short dinner.

Made from 100% pure beeswax with a cotton wick and no added fragrance. The slim body carries the honey note of the wax only, so a box of them does not scent the room the way a fragrance candle would.

Sold in 50, 100, 200 and 300 packs, in Natural or Cream White. The candles are packed loose, so count the box before a service rather than on the day.

Common questions

How long does each candle burn? About 40 minutes, in still air with the wick trimmed. A draught shortens it noticeably because the body is thin.

Can they be used as birthday candles? Yes. The size and the 40 minute burn suit a cake, and the slim body lights fast when you are lighting a whole box in a row.

Do they stand up on their own? No. A taper this thin needs a holder or a soft base to sit in. On a cake the wax presses into the icing; in a church stand the socket holds it.

Is there a scent? Only the faint honey note of pure beeswax. No fragrance oil is added, so they stay neutral next to food.
