Cereal City Candle Company: Handcrafted Scents That Celebrate Battle Creek

If you’ve ever wished you could bottle up the spirit of Battle Creek and share it with someone you love, Cereal City Candle Company has done exactly that.

 

Owned by woman veteran and proud Battle Creek entrepreneur Kellee VanValkenburg, this small business is bringing the aroma of home to families near and far.

 

What began in 2020 as a simple gesture of love, gifting handmade candles to family and friends, quickly blossomed into something special.

 

When Kellee created her now-beloved “Breakfast in Battle Creek” candle and sent it to relatives who couldn’t make it home for the holidays, she realized she had found something meaningful, something deeply connected to place and memory.

 

People weren’t just receiving a candle, they were receiving a piece of home.

 

Every candle is hand-stirred and hand-poured, showcasing Kellee’s dedication to craftsmanship, quality, and creativity.

 

She uses soy wax, not only for its clean, long-lasting burn but also because it offers a sustainable and eco-friendly alternative to traditional waxes.

 

The result is a candle that feels good to light, in every sense.

What truly sets Cereal City Candle Company apart is its heart.

 

Kellee delights in creating creative scents and clever names, each one inspired by Michigan’s seasons, stories, and local charm. Her goal is simple but powerful, to help customers feel more connected to their surroundings and to celebrate the hometown pride that makes Battle Creek unique.

 

Whether you’re gifting a reminder of home to someone far away or looking to add a warm, welcoming fragrance to your own space, these candles offer something special. They’re not just beautifully made, they’re made with purpose.
