2 hours (approximately)
Offered in: English

This is not a typical candle-making class. Travelers create a candle that looks like a real dessert — colorful, layered, playful, and almost good enough to eat.

The workshop takes place inside The Art Lab, a cozy local creative studio in Gazi, one of Athens’ most vibrant neighborhoods. Instead of following one fixed design, each traveler can personalize their candle with their own colors, scent, layers, and decorative wax “toppings.”

It’s beginner-friendly, relaxed, and highly visual, making it perfect for travelers who want a creative break from sightseeing, beautiful photos, and a unique handmade souvenir to take home from Athens.

What to expect

During this hands-on dessert-style candle-making workshop in Athens, travelers will create their own candle inspired by sweet treats, such as cakes, cookies, lattes, whipped desserts, or colorful dessert cups.
First, they will choose the style, colors, scent, and decorative elements for their candle. Then, with step-by-step guidance, they will learn how to work with soy wax, build layers, pour safely, and create a realistic dessert look using wax “toppings.”
They will personalize their candle with details such as whipped-style wax, sprinkles, cookie shapes, fruit-inspired decorations, dried flowers, or seasonal elements, depending on the available materials.
While the candle cools and sets, travelers can relax in the studio, take photos, and enjoy the creative atmosphere of The Art Lab in Gazi.
At the end of the workshop, each participant takes home their own handmade dessert-style candle as a unique souvenir from Athens.
