A birthday cake candle 66 mm across and 55 mm tall with its cherry: a round two-layer cake with a frosting cap, a piped bead border round the top and the foot, drips of frosting running down the front and the back, and a cherry on top the wick comes out of.
The mold is exactly what our two-part candle mold generator builds for it: two rigid halves with rubber-band grooves, pry pockets and a pour funnel on top. The cake is round, so the seam through its middle releases it, and the drips are on the front and back only, away from the seam, so the tool's own seam check finds nothing stuck. No silicone needed.
A sweet gift for birthdays and a best seller for dessert-scent candle sets. Pour it in pink, vanilla or chocolate, and paint the drips and the cherry. The zip carries both halves, the cake master as its own STL, the tool's own print-settings sheet and a recipe file for the generator.
Shown as a 3D render of the printed mold halves pulled apart around the candle they cast, not a photo.
Print both halves as exported. Clamp-strength settings: 4 walls, 40% gyroid infill, no supports.
Drop a tabbed wick into one half so the tab sits on the cavity floor, close the halves and band them along the whole seam.
Clip the wick centred across the pour funnel and pour at 65 to 75 C.
Once the first pour is firm but still warm, top up the funnel. Wax shrinks, and the second pour fills the dip.
Cool fully, open the halves at the pry pockets and trim the wick just above the cherry. Paint the drips and the cherry if you like.

Pour the cake in pink or vanilla, then paint the drips white or chocolate and the cherry red once it is cool. The drips stand 1 mm proud, so a steady brush stays on them.
The mold splits down the sides, and raised drips right on the seam would smear. With drips on the two faces people see, the cake looks dripped all the way round from any normal angle.
About 125 g of wax, 139 ml. Pour at 75 to 80 C so the beads and drips fill cleanly.
