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:

Custom Cupcakes to Order
Custom Cupcakes to Order

  • 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:

Cup Cakes for Hen Parties

  • 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.
