Gingerbread Madeleine Candle | Cereria Mollá
Hurry up, only 5 items left in stock.
Gingerbread, but made by a French patisserie rather than a cookie factory. Bright citrus opens it, warm spice follows — cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg — and underneath sits icing sugar, meringue milk, vanilla, and the particular smell of sponge cake just out of the oven.
The madeleine in the name is the whole point. Most gingerbread candles go straight for cookie and stay there, which gets heavy after half an hour. This one stays light because of the citrus up top and the milk and meringue in the middle. It smells like baking rather than like a baked good.
Cereria Mollá has been doing this in Spain since 1899, four generations of the Mollá family working from a philosophy of making the best candle on the market regardless of what it costs or how long it takes. The 21 oz three-wick burns around 80 hours, the 8 oz around 50.
Light it in a kitchen on a December afternoon and people will assume you've been cooking. The hand-painted glass is pretty enough to keep well after the wax is gone.
Why Katie loves it: "This is the one I want going when people walk in. It smells like someone has been baking all day, which is a very nice thing to let your guests believe. The citrus at the beginning is what keeps it from being too much."
