Korean Dessert Candle Making Workshop – By Dusk Hour

Korean-style candle making turns wax into convincing little cakes, drinks, ice cream bowls, plants, and floral pieces. At Dusk Hour, you choose a design and make a candle yourself, with English-speaking staff and a session that usually takes one to two hours. I love the choice between playful dessert shapes and the more delicate preserved-flower tablet, and I like that you can select from more than 20 scents and blend a base colour.

The studio sits on the second floor of 67A Haji Lane, in Kampong Glam, so you can pair the workshop with a meal or a wander through the neighbourhood. One practical consideration: each voucher covers one candle, and prices vary by design, so check the exact package and total before you book.

A candle workshop with a Korean dessert twist

This is not a standard candle-pouring class built around a plain jar and a wick. Dusk Hour’s Korean-inspired designs take their cues from desserts and decorative objects, so you might make a cake, a bowl of ice cream, a drink, a succulent, or a pressed-flower tablet. The result is a candle with a visual identity as well as a scent.

That variety is the workshop’s main appeal. If you like playful objects, a dessert design gives you a miniature treat that looks good on a shelf. If you prefer something quieter, the preserved floral tablet uses real preserved flowers and can make a more understated keepsake. The best choice depends on whether you want your candle to look like a little confection or a decorative piece.

The session is intended to be accessible to beginners. You make your own candle with guidance from English-speaking staff, and the experience is kept concise rather than stretched into a full-day craft course. That makes it a workable choice for a date, a small group outing, or a first try at candle making.

The workshop is held at Dusk Hour, by Ferlin Candle Studio. Instructor Feline has been praised for being friendly and approachable, and for helping participants take photos. That personal touch matters in a hands-on class: you can focus on making your candle while still having a record of the activity.

Choosing between cakes, drinks, plants, and flowers

The menu has six formats, and their listed prices vary. The cake candle is the priciest option at US$60.50. Ade drink and ice cream bowl candles are listed from US$36.55, while the latte and succulent designs start at US$46.95. The preserved floral tablet is listed from US$26.09.

The activity’s overall starting price is also shown as US$28.69. Since the package prices differ by design, do not treat one starting figure as the cost of every workshop. Check the price shown for your selected option at checkout, especially if you have a particular candle in mind.

Each design offers a different sort of project. The cake and ice cream bowl options lean into the dessert theme and may appeal if you want something whimsical. The drink options give you another edible-looking form, while the succulent is a plant-inspired alternative. The floral tablet is the clearest choice if you want preserved flowers rather than a dessert motif.

The package details provided for the floral tablet include preserved flowers, soy wax, ribbons, packaging, a logo paper bag, and cards. You can also choose a scent and blend a base colour. The other designs have their own package prices, but the supplied details do not specify that every material or decoration is identical across all options, so confirm what is included with your chosen package.

One voucher admits one person to make one candle. If you are booking for two people and each wants to make a candle, plan on two admissions. That simple detail can affect the total more than the per-person price suggests, particularly if you are choosing a higher-priced design.

What the session involves

Expect a focused craft activity rather than a long sequence of demonstrations or stops. You arrive at the Haji Lane studio, choose the design associated with your booking, and create your own candle with help from the staff. The exact steps depend on the package, so the cake workshop and the preserved floral tablet should not be assumed to follow the same process.

The workshop is designed to give you hands-on time while keeping the session to about one to two hours. That is long enough to make the activity feel like more than a quick souvenir purchase, but short enough to fit into a day of exploring Kampong Glam. If you are scheduling lunch or another booking afterward, leave a little flexibility because the exact duration depends on your selection.

For the floral tablet package, preserved flowers are part of the materials. Ribbons and packaging are included, along with soy wax and a choice of more than 20 scents. The self-blended base colour gives you another small decision to make, so the finished piece can reflect your own taste rather than simply matching a single fixed example.

The creative work is also part of the point. You are not just buying a finished candle; you are making one and taking it home. That makes this a better fit for someone who enjoys getting involved than for someone who only wants a quick stop or a ready-made gift.

A souvenir you make yourself

A handmade candle has a different value from a standard shop purchase. You leave with an object tied to an activity, and the design can serve as a reminder of your time in Singapore or as a gift for someone else. The workshop includes packaging, a logo paper bag, and cards, which makes the finished candle easier to present as a present.

There is also a Klook special: after completing the workshop, you can receive one additional candle as a gift from the display. Treat this as a bonus, not the central reason to book. The candle you make is the main activity, and the extra item comes from the display rather than being a second candle you craft yourself.

A few practical details help set expectations. The listed activity has no age limit, so it is offered as an option for participants of any age. Still, the experience is built around making a candle, so how much each person enjoys it will depend on their interest in a hands-on craft.

If you are arranging a larger outing, ask ahead if your group has more than six people. The studio asks larger groups to check availability. For a smaller group, the workshop is naturally suited to a shared activity: everyone can make their own piece, while the session remains focused on individual designs.

Why the Haji Lane address works

Dusk Hour is at 67A Haji Lane, Level 2, Singapore 189260, in the heart of Kampong Glam. The neighbourhood is part of the appeal: the workshop can be one stop in a day that also includes food and photo opportunities nearby. You do not need to make the candle class carry an entire day on its own.

The second-floor location is worth noting when you arrive. The workshop is not described as a street-level activity, so check the address and level rather than looking only for a shopfront at ground level. Opening hours are listed as noon to 7 p.m., which gives you afternoon scheduling options.

This location is especially useful if you want an activity with a clear start and finish, then time to explore the surrounding area at your own pace. The workshop itself lasts roughly one to two hours, leaving room to plan a meal before or after. The available details do not specify transport or parking arrangements, so plan those separately.

Is the price good value?

Value depends on your design and what you want from the outing. The lower-priced preserved floral tablet, listed from US$26.09, is a relatively modest way to try the class. At the other end, the cake candle is listed from US$60.50. The drink, ice cream, and succulent packages sit between those figures, though the final price can depend on the option you select.

For the cost, you are paying for a guided, hands-on session and a candle you make yourself, with scent selection and colour blending among the available details. The floral tablet package also includes its flowers, wax, ribbons, and packaging. If you value the making process and want a personal keepsake, that is a more meaningful comparison than judging the cost against a candle bought ready-made.

The trade-off is that the voucher covers just one candle. A pair or family will need one admission per person who wants to make one, and the total can rise quickly with the higher-priced designs. Decide on the package before you commit, and compare the final price for the number of people in your group.

There are only two public ratings in the information available, both at five out of five. The comments highlight an easy, comfortable activity, a smooth booking experience, and friendly help from the instructor. That is encouraging, especially for a beginner, but it is a small sample. I would read it as a positive early signal, not proof that every session will be identical.

Who will enjoy Dusk Hour most

I would choose this workshop if you want a creative activity with a tangible result, rather than a sightseeing tour or a passive demonstration. It suits friends looking for a shared project, couples wanting a date with something to do, and anyone curious about trying candle making as a hobby. The different designs also give a group some room to choose individual styles.

It is a particularly sensible pick if you already plan to spend time in Kampong Glam. The workshop fits neatly into a neighbourhood outing, and you can continue on to food and local photo spots without building your whole day around the class. Its compact length helps if you want a memorable activity without booking a half-day experience.

I would look elsewhere if you are mainly seeking a deep technical course in candle making. The workshop is described as concise and engaging, but there is no detailed syllabus or promise of advanced instruction. It is best understood as a guided introduction and a chance to make one decorative candle, not a professional training session.

Before booking, decide which form appeals to you, check the price for that package, and make sure the session length works with your plans. If you are bringing more than six people, contact the studio about availability. Changes may be possible before the activity starts, but some booking types cannot be changed, so check the terms attached to your voucher.

Should you book this candle workshop?

Book Dusk Hour if you like the idea of making a dessert-shaped or floral candle and want an easy, contained activity in Kampong Glam. The variety of designs, scent choices, and take-home piece give the workshop a clear purpose, and the friendly guidance described by participants is a welcome plus.

Skip it if you want a long, technical class, or if you are only interested in getting the cheapest finished candle. The price varies by design, and every admission covers one handmade candle. For a creative date, a small-group outing, or a first taste of candle making, though, this is a practical and memorable way to spend an hour or two.
