Sweet Scents and Deceptive Delights: DomsDessertCandles Are Too Tempting to Burn

DomsDessertCandles: The Sweet, Scented Revolution in Home Decor

The world of home decor is being sweetened by DomsDessertCandles, a company that turns everyday candles into works of art. Founded by Dominique Norwood, a self-taught entrepreneur, DomsDessertCandles began as a passion project in 2015 and has since grown into a recognizable brand known for its exquisite, dessert-inspired candles.

What makes these candles stand out? They don’t just look like desserts, they smell like them too. From cakes and pies to candy and cookies, each candle is meticulously crafted to replicate real desserts, using vibrant dyes, carefully chosen fragrances, and fine details. “I don’t just make candles,” says Dominique. “I create an experience, a conversation piece for your home.”

The Journey of a Self-Taught Entrepreneur

Dominique’s story is one of persistence, creativity, and self-discovery. After starting her journey in December 2015, Dominique gained her LLC in March 2019. She is a perfect example of the self-made woman, someone who didn’t take formal classes but instead relied on self-research, trial, and error to perfect her craft. “I didn’t go to school for this. I researched, experimented, and worked hard to learn how to create candles that would not only look amazing but smell amazing too,” Dominique shares.

Her inspiration came from the desire to bring something fresh to the candle market, and today, her work reflects her unique vision and dedication. DomsDessertCandles offers a blend of artistry and fragrance that sets it apart from other candle brands.

The Sweetness Behind Every Candle

At DomsDessertCandles, the focus is on creating candles that look like real desserts, but it goes far beyond the visual appeal. Each candle is carefully crafted to ensure the scent mirrors the dessert it resembles. Whether it’s the rich smell of freshly baked cookies or the sweet aroma of vanilla cake, these candles trick your senses. "I love adding those extra realistic touches, like the way a cake would have a soft sheen or the intricate frosting designs," explains Dominique.

Her creative process involves meticulous detail, from dyeing the wax to selecting just the right fragrance oils, all aimed at creating a product that can fool both the eye and the nose. The result is an indulgent sensory experience that turns any room into a sweet, aromatic oasis.

More Than Just Candles: A Statement of Craftsmanship

What makes DomsDessertCandles stand out is not just the look of the candles, but the story behind them. Dominique’s dedication to her craft reflects her deep love for creating something unique and meaningful. DomsDessertCandles is not just another business; it’s a manifestation of Dominique’s personal journey as a self-taught, Black woman entrepreneur in the competitive world of art and home decor.

“I don’t see my competition as ‘competition’,” Dominique says. “Everyone can cook the same dish, but everyone won’t have your flavor. I bring my own, unique touch to everything I create.” For Dominique, the candles are more than products, they are reflections of her individuality, hard work, and determination to succeed on her own terms.

Achievements and Recognition

From being featured in major publications like Epicurean Commune and Black Business, to being recognized in local outlets, Dominique has seen her business grow thanks to her commitment to quality and creativity. She attributes much of her success to the support of her parents, who believed in her talent from the start. “It helps to have a solid foundation, my parents always encouraged me to keep going, even when things got tough,” she explains.

As a woman of color breaking into the entrepreneurial world, Dominique is an inspiring example of perseverance. Her story proves that with dedication and the willingness to learn, anything is possible. “I had to make my own living and my own opportunity,” she shares, quoting Madam CJ Walker. "I made it. You can too.”

What Sets DomsDessertCandles Apart

The charm of DomsDessertCandles lies in its uniqueness. While there are plenty of candle companies on the market, none quite like this. From the vibrant color to the incredible scents that match each dessert, DomsDessertCandles offers a luxurious product that blends art, scent, and home decor in a way that’s hard to find anywhere else.

It’s also about the personal touch, Dominique’s candles serve as conversation pieces, turning a simple candle into an artful object of discussion. Her commitment to quality ensures that each piece of her work is something customers can treasure. And with scents so realistic, it’s no wonder that her customers are loyal.

A Quote That Drives Her: Turning Dreams into Reality

“I’m gonna make it do what it does, baby,” says Ray Charles. This quote, reflecting her determination to make her business a success despite obstacles, perfectly encapsulates Dominique’s entrepreneurial spirit. It mirrors her philosophy: don’t wait for opportunities, create them.
