How did Oak Lane Candle Co. get its start?

Oak Lane Candle Co. began as a labor of love and hope. In 2014, while my husband and I were in the long process of adopting our son and daughter from Uganda—three years filled with fundraising, travel, and faith—I started making candles as a way to support our adoption journey. What began as three simple candles on Etsy quickly grew into something much more. By the time our adoption was complete, our family and our business had both found new roots.

We opened our store in 2018 and every candle we pour is a reflection of that story—handcrafted with care, inspired by connection, and a reminder to
let your light shine.

Bright, juicy, and perfectly cozy - Pomegranate Cider puts a fresh twist on a classic fall favorite. Tart pomegranate adds a unique, sparkling depth to the familiar warmth of spiced apple cider. Notes of lemon peel, cranberry, and red currant bring a lively burst of fruit, while hints of spice wrap everything in cozy comfort. It’s the perfect balance of crisp and comforting - like sipping something special by the fire.

Oak Lane Candle Co.

Who we are: Oak Lake Candle Co. is a natural, eco-friendly soy wax candle shop located in the heart of Ames, Iowa. We use all natural soy wax so you can be sure that your burn is clean and natural. Soy wax burns cleaner and longer than regular candles and is produced by American farmers. We use phthalate-free fragrance in all of our candles and a lead-free wick.

In 2014 my husband and I started an adoption process of (what would be) adopting our son and daughter from Uganda. With such a large sum of money to raise at a small amount of time, I thought of trying something I had always wanted to try as a hobby; candle making. I researched and tested and after countless hours, wax, wicks, and fragrances, I eventually found the perfect candle. These candles helped us raise the money to finish our adoption process and in March of 2017, we brought them home. The passion for creating candles has stuck with me, and here we are!

The Candle: Our 9 oz. and 16 oz. candles have a sleek, straight jar with a white tin lid. 9 oz. candles have a burn time of 40-60 hours and 16 oz. have a burn time of 80-120 hours, when properly maintained. Trim your wick to ¼ inch prior to every single burn. This ensures proper burning. The first time you burn your candle, burn it for a few hours, no more than four. Soy wax has a memory, so the first burn is important in making sure you have a proper melting pool. Soy wax has a very natural look and may develop frosting. This is the nature of soy candles and will not affect the burning or scent.
