Broste Copenhagen crafts these candles in classic fruit shapes — cherries with stems, round apples, and pears with their distinctive form. The pastel tones range from pink cherries through green apples to yellow pears. The wax is colored throughout, so the color remains even as the candle burns down. Each candle weighs about 150 grams and has a burn time of 8-10 hours depending on air circulation.
Care and maintenance
Keep away from direct sunlight to prevent the pastel colors from fading. Paraffin wax can leave grease stains on fabrics — use a bowl or plate as a base.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between fruit candles and regular pillar candles?
Fruit candles are molded in three-dimensional shapes with details like stems and fruit contours, while pillar candles have simple geometric forms. Both are made of paraffin wax, but fruit candles are colored all the way through instead of just on the surface.
Can you light the fruit candles or are they for decoration only?
They are fully functional paraffin candles with wicks and can be lit. The burn time is 8-10 hours. However, many choose to use them as decorative objects without lighting them, as the shape stays most intact when unused.
Are fruit candles a good hostess gift?
Yes, especially for summer parties or garden gatherings where the fruit shape suits the season. Feel free to combine 3-4 different fruits in a small basket. They are also popular gifts for teachers or care staff because they are informal without being impersonal.
How do you remove wax residue from fruit candles?
Place the candle in the freezer for 30 minutes — then you can easily peel off any drips. Avoid scraping with sharp tools as this can scratch the surface. Paraffin wax melts at 60 degrees Celsius, so keep them away from radiators.
How long does the pastel color last on the fruit candles?
In indirect light, the color lasts for several years. Direct sunlight through a window can fade the pastel tones within 3-6 months. Store unused candles in a drawer or cabinet if you want to preserve the original color intensity.

Most of my products are handmade or hand-painted. This means that there may be variations in color, finish, and minor imperfections. These variations are a natural part of the handmade look and make each product unique. Minor differences are therefore not considered defects.
