I love creating candles that tell a story or fit a special theme. From protective Evil Eye designs to playful dessert-inspired wax art, these are little joy-filled creations made right here in Mumbai.

Ward off bad vibes with my evil eye candle. This large pillar candle features a beautiful, hand-beaded evil eye patch and can be used with a tea light, so you can cherish it forever.

My evil eye collection makes for a great gift hamper. This set includes two different glass jar candles and a wooden crate, all adorned with the protective evil eye symbol.

This custom evil eye and Hamsa Hand hamper is one of my favorites. I combined the themed candles with fresh red and white flowers for a truly stunning gift.

My evil eye candles have been flying off the shelves. Here I am packing one of the Hamsa Hand candles, which is a symbol of protection and good fortune.

Dessert candles are so much fun to make! This video shows some of my creations, including a large cake-style candle and some little waffle melts.

My tie-dye candles are a splash of color for your home. I make them in various shapes and color combinations, so each one is a unique piece of art.

About Unique Themed & Novelty Candles

When you order my Evil Eye or dessert-themed candles, keep in mind that these are intricate pieces, not mass-produced items. Because I hand-pour and detail every piece, I usually need a bit of lead time to get them just right, so it is always better to reach out a few days before you need them for a special occasion.

Making Candles with Personality

I believe a candle should be more than just a source of light; it should spark a conversation. That is why I love working on novelty shapes. My Evil Eye and Hamsa Hand collection isn't just about decor—it is about adding a bit of protection and good vibes to your living space. Each bead is placed with care, and I make sure the finish is perfect before it leaves my studio.

If you are looking for something a bit more playful, my dessert-themed candles are always a hit. People often do a double-take because they really do look like tiny cakes and waffles! Whether you want a whimsical gift for a friend or a unique centrepiece for your own coffee table, these designs are crafted to bring a smile to anyone's face.

Customisation & Gifting

Most of these novelty candles are available as standalone pieces or can be packed into my custom hampers. If you are gifting, I can pair them with elegant wooden crates, furoshiki cloth wraps, or floral arrangements to create a complete aesthetic experience. Since I hand-pour every batch using a blend of clean-burning soy or beeswax, you get a premium product that is as safe as it is beautiful.

Why Choose Hand-Poured?

  • Personalised Touch: Unlike store-bought candles, you get to choose scents like French Vanilla or Apple Pie to match the vibe.
  • Sustainable Choice: I use eco-friendly wax blends, so you can enjoy your decor without worrying about soot or chemicals.
  • Local Craftsmanship: Every order supports a small, independent maker right here in Mumbai.

Hi, I'm Veena! For me, Crackle & Burn is all about mixing creativity with a bit of stubborn perfectionism to make candles that actually make you happy. I love the challenge of turning wax into a Ladoo or an Evil Eye charm, and I put that same joy into every single order that leaves my studio.
