Inspired by: Magical Birthdays, Cozy Fantasy Kitchens, and Celebratory Feasts

A scent for those who believe that birthdays are magic—the kind where giant half-giants deliver pink-frosted cakes in the middle of the night, where High Lords throw surprise parties under the stars, or where found families gather around tables overflowing with too much food and even more love. The Keeper's Cake captures that joy: strawberry-sweet, vanilla-warm, and absolutely magical.

This is the candle for readers who've cried over fictional birthday scenes, who dog-ear pages where characters finally get the celebration they deserve, and who know that sometimes the most powerful magic is just showing up for the people you love with cake. Whether you're celebrating your own day or honoring a character's, this scent transforms any moment into something worth remembering.

Perfect for cozy fantasy lovers, birthday celebrations, or anyone who believes that cake fixes everything—especially when there's magic involved.

Discover the Lore

You weren't expecting a cake.

Honestly, you weren't expecting anyone to remember at all. Birthdays aren't really a thing in your world—not when you're too busy surviving, or fighting, or trying to figure out how to save everyone you love from whatever disaster is currently unfolding. You stopped counting years ago. It didn't seem important.

But then you walk into the kitchen—your safe house, your headquarters, your found family's gathering place—and there it is.

A cake.

Not just any cake. A towering, slightly lopsided, absolutely beautiful disaster of a cake. Pink frosting swirled with white, fresh strawberries tumbling down the sides like they couldn't wait to be eaten. It's too much and not enough and exactly perfect, and you know immediately that they made this. Your family. Your people. The ones who somehow remembered when you'd forgotten yourself.

The scent hits you before the tears do—sweet strawberries and rich vanilla, warm sugar and something that smells like happiness, like safety, like home. It's the smell of someone caring enough to stay up late whisking buttercream by hand. The smell of magic that has nothing to do with spells and everything to do with showing up.

"You thought we'd forget?" they say, grinning.

You did. You absolutely did. Because you've spent so long being the one who remembers everyone else's days, who plans the celebrations, who makes sure no one feels forgotten. You didn't think anyone was keeping track of yours.

But they were. They are.

Someone lights a candle—just one, because this isn't about age, it's about the fact that you're here, you're alive, you made it another year despite everything trying to stop you. The flame flickers in the center of all that pink and white and sweetness, and for just a moment, the whole world smells like vanilla and strawberries and the kind of love that doesn't need magic to be real.

"Make a wish," they tell you.

And for once—for the first time in a long time—you do.

This is The Keeper's Cake, and this is what it feels like to be remembered.
