Embers Candle Bar

Great spot for a girls day out! Very cozy, organized and well decorated space. It was really fun to choose my own blend and staff were very helpful with making suggestions for scent blends. The price points of candles were reasonable considering you are paying for an experience and not just a product. The only thing I would add is to have some coffee beans available as a palate cleanser for smelling so many different things. You do need to wait for your candle to set up for at least an hour so plan accordingly.

My husband and I made reservations here for a Saturday afternoon. It was busy and all of the tables were full with groups so I would recommend making a reservation ahead. The staff there walked through each of the steps with us. First, you choose what you want your candle in, then the scents. We kept things simple and only chose 2 scents for our candles. You can add more if you would like. From there, you take the scent oils to your table and stir them together. The staff will then bring you the wax and you stir the oils in the wax. They take your candles to cool and you return in a few hours to pick them up. I really enjoyed the experience. I did find that I couldn't really smell my candle after burning it at home (cashmere and Flannel). Staff were very helpful and I would recommend this experience for date nights or a girls night out.

LOVE IT!!!It was an activity for my 11 year old and I. What a great idea! You are welcomed by an associate (super nice.) She explained the process:Take a clipboard and use the page attached to help navigate you to your end product. Which candle holder? What size? And maybe even what color? Then the scents... 3 shelves stocked with tany jars that look like large lip balms. Start smelling and taking notes. Consult with the employees at the end and they will help you narrow down the scents of your candle.We smelled.We took notes.We eliminated and made decisions.We mixed the proper amount of oils to our desired smell.We stirred our scent into the hot wax.We named our scent.We decorated our label.It was a really cool experience. Both adult and child enjoyed it and now we are home from vacation with two candles we can burn at anytime that will remind us of our vacation and this experience together.

What a fun way to spend a girls day of making candles. Highly recommend making a rsvp for the weekend. First you pick your candle holder and then you pick your scents. This process can take 30 minutes. It takes 2 - 3 hours for them to mold the candles. I suggest grabbing lunch or dinner at one of the restaurants in downtown LS.

Fun birthday making candles with my husband, son and daughter-in-law. The employees were very helpful the smells!!! My husband played Softball with the owners husband! Didn't even know the Derk's own it. How cool!!!

This is my second visit to Embers, which is a testament unto itself, I guess. I'd made a candle there ~ 6 months ago, and I liked it so much -- and accidentally let it burn too long and used it up -- that I made a sojourn back to Lee's Summit for a remake. The staff are all friendly and helpful, and will walk you through the process, which is simple: Pick your scents, pick your container, mix your essential oils, stir your oils into the soya wax candle for 2 minutes. Then you let the candle cure while strolling around the lovely Lee's Summit shopping district (get ice cream!) and come back. Voilá! Masterpiece.Only downvoted because the staff have been made to suffer without A/C for two weeks after lightening struck, and the whole experience is literally 10 minutes if you know what you're doing. Fun place to have a little get together or mini group event though!

This was such a fun experience! This was great for a girls' day out or date activity. We were immediately greeted and walked through the process. Staff checked in on us throughout the process to provide suggestions if we wanted them and make sure we didn't have questions. Choosing from the 60 available scents was the hardest part! I'm so happy with how my candle turned out though and can't wait to pick it up and go back to make another one!

Embers Candle Bar was a great Valentines Day activity! As a candle lover, getting to pick my own scent and pour my own candle was such a treat. The process was made easier by staff who were kind and helpful. This is a great experience for a date night, birthday, celebration, or fun activity!

This was a fun experience that was worth the price! When you come in for an appointment you get to sniff all of these different scents. Out of probably 40+ choices you got to pick 2-4 scents that you would like to turn into a candle. Now if you are an indecisive person like me.. it's fun, but also a tad bit stressful (in a great way) because you want to use everything! The staff their were extremely helpful on giving us tips on how to decide if the different scents were good partners with each other. Beyond that we were able to choose and mix ourselves the exact amount of each even we wanted in our candle! Another plus were there were many different jars to choose from that dictated the price of your experience . My experience cost $30. This concept was so cute and the environment vibe was mellow and comfortable! I def will be back when I'm feeling a need to be creative!

I absolutely adored this place!! Immediately when you walk in it smells so so good. Even when I left the scents lingered on my clothes for awhile and I did not mind at all. They had many different jar options and so so many scents to mix and match. I mixed Palo Santo, Redwood, + Bourbon. Everyone who works here is so kind and helpful and made this experience even better. I am looking forward to coming back.
