Did you know that the world’s largest wax melt weighed over 150kg and smelled of bubblegum? It was made in 2018, and I believe the record was broken by a man in Ohio who now regrets everything. Also, wax melts were originally invented because someone’s cat knocked over a candle – that’s actually not true, but it sounds plausible enough to repeat at parties.

Here’s a genuine one: soy wax is edible (not that you should snack on it). It’s made from soybeans, so technically you could make a wax melt that smells like your dinner. I have not tried this. Yet.
The Un-melting: Troubleshooting
Your melt came out looking like a zombie’s polka dot? That’s called “frosting,” and it’s a sign you poured too hot. Next time, let the wax cool to 65°C before adding scent. Also, if your melt smells like burned bacon, you overheated the wax. Respect the temperature, mate.
Still, even a wonky melt works. Throw it in your burner, light a tea light, and bask in the glory of smelling like a bakery in the Cotswolds. You made a thing. It melts. It smells. You’re basically a wizard now. Well done.
Now go light your masterpiece, put your feet up, and try not to sniff the wax so hard you faint. I’ve seen it happen. It’s not pretty, but it does smell lovely.
