Harvey loves taking his mother to Sant Ambroeus in New York to enjoy the famous Principessa cake. Legend has it, The cake was named "Princess Cake" because Swedish princesses were particularly fond of it. We’re particularly fond of it too — not just the taste, but the scent! Its layers of Lemon Sponge Cake, Vanilla Pastry Cream, and Almond Marzipan make us all so happy.
This past Holiday season, we all went to New York together. We stayed at our favorite hotel (The Carlyle) and walked across the road for Sant Ambroeus’ Principessa Cake every day. Sitting with Harvey’s mom, we decided to make a Principessa Candle.
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.

The most delicious candle we’ve ever made.

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.
Our candles are packaged in boxes with an FSC certification, which means they were made using materials from responsibly managed forests, including some recycled paper products.
The soy wax in our candles is non-GMO and grown in the USA.

A (1) Carrie Sun, she lights up the room with that effortless, messy-glam charm — almond marzipan in one hand, a surprise of lemon in the other.
( Heart Notes )
Oakmoss, Neroli Leaves, Toasted Cinnamon
Beneath the glossy exterior? Cinnamon (2) Charlotte Moon, quietly yearning for a fairytale ending, princess cake served on heirloom china, and the kind of love that doesn’t ghost you after dessert.
( Base Notes )
Amber, White Moss, Warm Incense
Don’t be fooled by her creamy softness — this girl is spicy. A (3) Lexi Featherston Rising, she’s ready to light a fire in your penthouse before taking a bite out of someone else’s prince.
The scent leans a little more fresh than gourmand but still lovely. The throw is a little lighter than other Flamingo Estate candles I have tried so I would recommend using it in a smaller room.
