About Us
Dulceria Candle Supply began as a small candle company in the spring of 2019 in St. Petersburg, Florida. As twin sisters, we had always dreamed of building a business together, so we started our journey like many makers do—gathering the essential supplies and preparing for launch. Almost immediately, the pandemic began to spread across the U.S., presenting challenges we never anticipated. Despite the uncertainty, we pushed forward.
In the months that followed, supply shortages became widespread, and out of pure necessity, we designed and created our first wooden candle lid. That moment changed everything. Today, all of our custom products are crafted right here in our hometown, by our own two hands, using locally sourced materials from other family-owned businesses we proudly support. What began with custom lids has since grown into a full line of thoughtfully curated candle supplies, including wax, fragrance oils, vessels, and more helpful products still to come.
We are also very proud moms to two little boys, who inspire us daily. We pour care, intention, and heart into everything we create, and we are deeply committed to the makers who trust us. When you choose Dulceria Candle Supply, you’ll truly see—and feel—the difference.
What is "Dulceria"?
Dulcería is a Spanish word that means sweet shop. Our journey began by creating candles inspired by Hispanic bakeries and traditional sweet shops — places filled with warmth, comfort, and familiar joy. The name also holds deep personal meaning for us.
Our grandmother Mimi would sing us a Spanish lullaby that included the line, “esta niña linda que nació de día, quieren que la lleven a la dulcería,” which translates to, “this beautiful little girl who was born during the day, they want to take her to the sweet shop.” That memory, paired with our creative beginnings, made Dulceria Candle Supply a name rooted in both emotion and inspiration.
