These candles are poured in small, deliberate batches using 100% soy wax, and I personally finish every single laddoo with edible-grade silver vark to nail that authentic halwai look. They are designed to be lit, creating a melt pool that smells like cardamom and warm vanilla, making them the ultimate conversation starter at any wedding or Diwali gathering. ### Why these aren't just 'decorative' candles When I started crafting these, I wanted to move past the generic gift box. You know the one—soan papdi that eventually gets passed on to someone else? My mithai collection is meant to actually be used and appreciated. **The Crafting Process:** It starts with food-grade molds that capture the granular texture of a Motichoor Laddoo or the delicate swirl of a Jalebi. I use 100% natural soy wax, which means no paraffin, no black soot, and a clean, slow burn. Every candle is scented with gourmand notes—think subtle cardamom for the chai glasses and sweet, creamy vanilla for the mithai sets—so it actually smells like a dessert counter, not a chemical lab. **Gifting & Decor:** These are perfect for return favors or corporate hampers where you want to leave an impression. Since they are small-batch, the detail is consistent. * **Laddoo & Imarti Sets:** Typically packed in traditional partitioned sweet boxes. * **Burn Time:** Because of their size and detail, these are designed for shorter, ambient burn sessions of 2 to 4 hours. * **Safety Note:** Like any candle, place them on a heat-safe tray or coaster before lighting to catch the wax as it melts. **Sustainability:** I hate waste as much as I hate fake ingredients. My packaging uses eco-friendly materials, and since the wax is soy-based, it is biodegradable. Whether you are planning a wedding giveaway or looking for a unique Diwali centerpiece that does not melt in the heat, these are handmade to bring a little bit of madness and a lot of heart to your home. ## About Mandy & Co Hi, I’m Aakriti.
