Product Insights
Yummi Candles' Taper Elongated Conical Candles Set of 12 offers a hard-shell, dripless design that burns consistently at about one inch per hour, with a uniform color layer that only reveals a white paraffin core in the final hour. However, actual burn time averages 7.6 hours, slightly below the 8-hour claim, and occasional dripping can occur, especially in drafts or when the candle wobbles in standard 7/8-inch holders (requiring Stickum or trimming). The sandstone color arrived dark purple instead of cream/tan, exemplifying frequent color discrepancies from website images. Customer service is unresponsive, and high shipping costs amplify the risk of receiving mismatched colors. While the set offers value at a sale price of $9.99, the tradeoff includes potential holder staining, the need for wick trimming to prevent smoking, and the fact that West Elm candles outlast Yummi by 15%.
Verified claims
- Burn time
- The 8-hour burn time is a total estimate for the full 12-inch candle when burned in 3-4 hour cycles in a draft-free space.
- Drip
- Some users report some dripping but not excessive; these are not the best dripless option.
- Color burn-off
- White paraffin core may become visible near the end of burn, affecting color consistency.
- Fit
- Buyers report 0.75-inch tapers wobble in standard 7/8-inch holders without Stickum or trimming.
- Burn rate
- Burns at a consistent rate of about 1 inch per hour.
- Shipping cost
- Buyers say shipping can be very costly for large orders
- Wick trimming
- Trimming wick to 1/4 inch before each use prevents smoking and uneven burning.
- Color consistency
- Colors often differ significantly from website images.
- Burn quality
- When the wick is trimmed to 1/4 inch before each use, these candles burn with very little soot, smoke, or odor and minimal dripping under normal indoor conditions.
- Value
- Sale price $9.99 per set; bulk value but costly shipping and unreliable service.
- Dripless design
- The hard hand-dipped paraffin shell reduces dripping, but some dripping can still occur.
- Material and scent
- Made from food-grade paraffin wax with a cotton wick; the candles burn scentless with no petroleum odor.

Burn test comparison shows Yummi Candles as a decent budget option
Yummi Candles and CANDWAX (from Amazon) did okay after 3.5 hours = 6.5 inches. It’s a decent option for colored tapers and Yummi is a good deal if you buy in bulk.

Complaints about Yummi Candles color mismatch and customer service
Do not buy from Yummi Candles. I'm now receiving a third shipment of candles from them because the first two shipments are extremely different from their website pictures. I ordered Sandstone (cream/tan color) candles last month and they came in as a dark purple.

Yummi Candles glass holders may get burned looking
I’ve used Yummi over the years and do find that the glass can get a bit burned looking… however I’m not sure if it was just the colored candles that had that affect, or the white/ivory as well. Might be worth a test run?
