The most delicious candle we’ve ever made.

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.

We were inspired by Sant Ambroeus’ famous Principessa cake: 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. Now — the world is fond of it, too.

Recognized by Eater as one of Sweden’s most beloved pastries, and our take on the candle: “the best gift of a favorite food memory.”

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.

Favorite candle
There is nothing like this. I’m not huge into gourmand scents but this is like a hint of bakery with a warm woodsy undertone. I have basically every high end candle, lots of them - Diptyque, Trudon, etc. This is my favorite and might be the first candle I subscribe to on repeat.

A little on the sophisticated side
Truly enjoy the candle. Not an overbearing aroma, definitely a little more on the sophisticated side. I won’t burn all the time, I’ll keep it it for just those special moods.

Obsessed with this candle
This is my second Prinsesstarta Candle. The scent is heavenly, sweet undertones but not in a cloying way. The warmth of amber is what stands out the most to me. Great scent throw.

Unique gourmand with green balance
This was a blind buy for me, being reassured by others that it wasn't too treacly of a gourmand. It is a perfectly light, as a princess cake should be - sweet without being cloying, with hints of welcome freshness, if that makes sense.
