The Sweetest Finishing Touch: Making Our Parties Extra Special

At Candles of the Forest, every private party is designed to feel warm, personal and beautifully memorable. Whether it’s a hen celebration, a milestone birthday or a creative gathering with friends, I believe it’s the thoughtful details that transform a lovely event into something truly unforgettable. That’s why I’m so excited to share a new partnership that adds an extra layer of beauty (and sweetness) to our private events.
A Beautiful Local Collaboration
I’m now working alongside the wonderfully talented Le Cake Shop a Hampshire-based artisan cake studio, who create handcrafted celebration cakes and floral cupcakes that are as elegant as they are delicious. Their floral designs are intricate, delicate and full of detail perfectly aligned with the aesthetic of Candles of the Forest. Together, we’ve created something exclusive for our parties.
Exclusive Mini Flower Cupcakes – A Gift for Under 18 Birthdays
For all under 18 birthday parties, I now provide complimentary mini flower cupcakes, specially designed and made exclusively for Candles of the Forest.

These cupcakes are:
Delicately piped into beautiful floral designs
Colour-coordinated to complement the party setting
Created just for our studio celebrations
They add a magical finishing touch for younger guests something pretty, celebratory and completely Instagram-worthy, without parents having to organise anything extra. It’s one more way I make our birthday experiences feel thoughtful and complete.
Over 18 Celebrations – A Toast & Optional Sweet Additions
For our over 18 birthday parties, I provide complimentary prosecco, creating a relaxed and celebratory atmosphere as guests pour candles and enjoy time together in the studio.
For those wanting to elevate their party even further, we can add:

Floral cupcakes
Mini cupcake boxes
Number-shaped cupcake cakes
Full bespoke celebration cakes
These are available for a small additional cost and can be tailored to suit the theme, colour palette or milestone being celebrated. Whether it’s a 21st, 30th, 40th or beyond, the cake becomes part of the experience, not just a dessert, but a centrepiece.
Designed to Complement the Studio Experience
What makes this partnership special is how beautifully it fits with the atmosphere of Candles of the Forest. Our candle studio is cosy, elegant and nature-inspired. The floral cupcakes mirror that same aesthetic, soft petals, delicate piping, pastel tones and botanical influence.
When placed beside hand-poured candles, engraved lids and decorated tables, the whole event feels cohesive and thoughtfully curated.
Available for Hen Parties & Private Events
These sweet additions aren’t limited to birthdays.
They are also available for:

Hen parties
Private group bookings
Bespoke celebrations
Hen parties already include decorative touches and complimentary prosecco, but adding floral cupcakes or a bespoke cake can elevate the occasion even further especially when celebrating a bride-to-be.
A Party That Feels Personal
From engraved candle lids to custom fragrance choices, and now beautifully crafted cakes, every element of our private events is chosen with care.
The goal is simple: To create celebrations that feel intimate, creative and completely personal where guests leave not only with a handmade candle, but with memories of laughter, scent and something sweet shared together. If you’re planning a birthday, hen celebration or private event in the New Forest, I’d love to help you create something truly special.
