*Please note that this review focuses on my experience of the mini housewarmer jar version though there will be references to the use of the wax tart as well* I've been a fan of scented candles for as long as I can remember and ever since reading about the US company Yankee Candle Co on such review sites as this I've been buying their products almost exclusively. I purchased my first wax tart burner just a little over a year ago and since then have been solely buying wax tarts to fragrance my home as I prefer the format, think they are stronger than votives and also can be bought around the £1 mark making them excellent value for money and ideal to test out a ...  Read the complete review

I love candles and have tons of holders scattered around my house so I can create the perfect romantic or haunting lighting effects. I particularly like fragranced candles as they create a lovely atmosphere, especially during the evenings when you want to feel all cosy. The Yankee Candle brand seems pretty popular here on Dooyoo and although I was a bit put off by the RRP of the full sized candles, I thought it would be worth trying a few samplers to test out the fragrances and see if Yankee Candles live up to their reputation. Product description: "The rich, creamy aroma of vanilla cupcakes with hints of lemon and lots of buttery icing." ...  Read the complete review

Yankee Candle offer a huge selection of scented candles and home fragrance goodies. ~Vanilla Cupcake~ Vanilla Cupcake is one of the delicious scents that Yankee offer. It is currently available in votive sampler form aswell as various sized jars and tumblers. The cheapest way to experience Vanilla Cupcake, is in wax tart form.

It needs to be placed in a oil burner and the heat from a tealight should melt the wax and release the fragrance into the air. The tarts can be split and used bit by bit and you can also mix and match the scents. Vanilla Cupcake is ...  Read the complete review

For those of you who kindly read my reviews you will have seen that in the last few weeks I've been introduced in to the Yankee Candle way of life. Previously an alien to this brand I recently invested in a selection of Yankee Candle Tarts and a special Yankee Candle Tart Burner. The Vanilla Cupcake tart was one I couldn't wait to burn as I love vanilla scents, they are my absolute favourites and I love cupcakes too and how the house smells when I make them freshly...so I assumed I was going to love this tart. I was about to be left a little disappointed. The Yankee Canle Tarts are the smallest and cheapest of the Yankee Candles. They are little shapes of wax ...  Read the complete review

My younger daughter (20) has never really shown much interest in candles so I was somewhat surprised the other day when she informed me she 'desperately needed' a Yankee Vanilla Cupcake candle for her bedroom. Like so many high streets ours is looking increasingly depressing because of the number of shop closures but luckily we still have both a Clinton Cards and Hallmark shop remaining. We went to Clinton's first but their range was quite limited so we went to Hallmark's where they had a sale on many of the Yankee products including the Vanilla Cupcake range. I love this range of candles and sometimes treat the family especially at Christmas-time, ...  Read the complete review
