Our Service
We are a family-led small UK Business. We pride ourselves on bringing a fusion between our love and passion for baking. teaching, healing and our infintie love for candles and scents.
As a neurodivergent family, we are pretty big on the five senses, more importantly bringing positivity to those five senses. Why? Because for most neurodivergent individuals a number of the senses are heightened and some can be suppressed.
That is why our products are purposely designed to be sensually pleasing. We take the love of baking and fused this with candle making. Offering 100% Natural Soy Wax candles and 100% Natural fragrances. We are now a self proclaimed family of Alchemists and Bakers! We’ve turned our favourite delicious baked goods into stunning candles and wax melts. All our candles and Wax Melts are personally mixed and hand poured by us.
If like us, you like the familiar scent of baking lofting throughout your dwelling then you’ve found yourself in the right place!
We have just launched our extensive Christmas range and we promise to knock your socks off by providing you with all of the familiar Christmas classics scents. We are here for it! Promising to assist you in basking your home in precious, nostalgic Christmas scents.

Why Baking as Self-Care?

Why Baking as Self-Care? *
-
It’s sensory. Rhythmic. Grounding. It gives our hands something to do while our thoughts settle. It helps us reconnect with our body, especially if we’ve been living in survival mode. It’s a practice of nourishing ourselves not just with food, but with presence, creativity, and joy. Shani is a qualified SEN teacher, creative baking mentor, and the founder of Sugar Leaf: The Baking Sanctuary—a nurturing space where women reconnect with joy, presence, and healing through the therapeutic art of baking.
