the story
the Spark that Started it All
We’re Obsessed with Fancy Candles
Our handmade, soy candles aren’t just your run-of-the-mill light sources – they’re like tiny, flamey works of art.
Born from a serious case of candle fever (it’s a real thing, we swear), we at Caspar’s Candles have turned our slightly excessive passion for perfect scents into the most popular candle in the Adirondacks. Think of us as your friendly neighborhood aroma architects, crafting scents that’ll make you want to cancel your plans and stay home just to sniff the air.
The Spark
Picture this: While most pregnant moms were craving pickles dipped in peanut butter, I was busy cooking up the perfect candle recipe! That lightbulb moment turned into Caspar’s Candles. One whiff of our handcrafted creations and – BOOM! – you’re part of our quirky little family of flame enthusiasts. Who knew a pregnancy craving could turn into your favorite excuse to light things on fire… legally, of course!

How We Roll
