Flamingo Estate Prinsesstarta Candle

The Prinsesstarta Candle by Flamingo Estate is a refined version of the traditional Swedish Prinsesstårta, which originated in the 1920s. The original was created by Jenny Åkerström, a Swedish home economics instructor who taught the daughters of Prince Carl, Duke of Västergötland. The cake was named "Princess Cake" because the princesses were particularly fond of it.

Prinsesstårta is a complex Candle. It has sweet, powdery Almond and sultry spices. As it burns, it releases a creamy whiff of Heliotrope Flowers — reminiscent of Marzipan. Earthy Oakmoss at the heart. And musky Amber at the base. Together, this limited-edition Prinsesstårta Candle is a tribute to the mothers in our family: complex, strong, comforting, and sweet. And you can have as much as you want and you’ll never get fat.

Candle Care

When burning your candle for the first time, allow it to burn for 2 to 3 hours, until the top layer of the wax has completely melted. This will prevent the wax from tunneling around the wick. When burning the candle after the first burn, do not let it burn for over 3 hours at a time.

Ideally, we recommend keeping the wick trimmed to 1/4 inch at all times to prevent the candle from emitting smoke or the wick falling into the wax.

After each burn, see that the wick is centered in the wax. This will also ensure that the glass does not overheat. The wick and flame should never be touching the glass. When approaching the end of the candle, leave ¼ inch of wax unburned and ensure you are not burning the candle for more than 3 hours. The glass can get overheated without the presence of wax and break.
