Beyond the Flame - The Luxury Candle-Making Guide (ebook)

Coconut Soy Wax • Wooden Wicks

Candle making starts with more than melting wax and adding fragrance. Understanding your materials, measurements, temperatures, wick selection, and testing process gives you a stronger foundation for every candle you make.

Beyond the Flame  is a beginner-friendly, step-by-step guide to making luxury candles with greater consistency and confidence.

I take you through the candle-making process from the beginning, including the tools, glossary, and materials you need. Choosing and working with coconut-soy wax, understanding wooden wicks, measuring wax and fragrance correctly, pouring and curing, and testing your finished candle for burn performance and fragrance throw.

But I don’t just tell you what to do. I walk you through it.

Knowing a temperature, percentage, or wick size means very little if you don’t understand what it changes in the candle you’re making. This guide was designed to help you understand the process so you can make informed decisions instead of simply following someone else’s formula.

From First Pour to Final Test

You’ll learn how fragrance load works and why percentages matter, how to calculate the wax and fragrance needed for the batch you’re making, what to consider when working with wooden wicks, how pouring and curing affect the finished candle, and why proper burn testing is essential before a candle is ready to sell.

You’ll also learn how to recognize common candle-making problems and begin understanding what may need to change when a candle isn’t performing the way you expected.

Your Batch Calculator Is Included

Includes access to The Wax Remembers Batch Calculator, my digital assistant designed to take the repetitive math out of batch preparation.

Enter your vessel size, quantity, and fragrance load, and the calculator determines the wax and fragrance needed for your batch so you can concentrate on the pour.

Start With Understanding

Whether you’re preparing to pour your first candle, thinking about starting a candle business, or already making candles and looking for more consistency, this guide gives you a practical foundation for understanding the craft behind the product.

You don’t need to know everything before you begin. You need a solid place to start, a process you understand, and the willingness to test, learn, and improve with every pour.

I built GRICE Wax & Wicks one batch, one test, and one lesson at a time. Beyond the Flame brings those lessons together to help you begin building yours.
