A gingerbread house candle 71 mm tall, 60 mm wide and 50 mm deep: a pitched roof overhanging the walls, piped icing along both gables with drips hanging from it, icing drips under the eaves, a chimney, and on the front and back a round-topped door, two four-pane windows, a round gable window and three sweets up each corner.

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 gables face the two halves, so the door, windows and icing on each come straight off, and the tool's own seam check finds nothing stuck. No silicone needed.

Pour it in a warm gingerbread brown and pick out the icing in white candle paint, or pour it white for a snowy cottage. A favourite for Christmas markets and gift boxes. The zip carries both halves, the house master as its own STL, the tool's own print-settings sheet and a recipe file for the generator.

How this mold works

What you need

4
  • About 167 g of pillar wax: the cavity holds 186 ml
  • A tabbed, primed wick for a 50 mm candle, about 90 mm long
  • Rubber bands or clamps, and a clip or wick bar across the funnel
  • White candle paint and a fine brush for the icing (optional)

How to cast it

5

  1. Print both halves as exported. Clamp-strength settings: 4 walls, 40% gyroid infill, no supports. PETG takes hot wax best.

  2. 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.

  3. Clip the wick centred across the pour funnel and pour at 65 to 75 C.

  4. Once the first pour is firm but still warm, top up the funnel. Wax shrinks, and the second pour fills the dip.

  5. Cool fully, open the halves at the pry pockets, cut the pour stub off along the roof ridge and trim the wick.

Questions about this design

How do I paint the icing on the gingerbread house candle?

Pour the house in a brown candle wax and let it cool fully. Then trace the raised icing on the gables, the drips and the sweets with white candle paint, or acrylic mixed with candle medium, on a fine brush. A dot of red or green on each sweet finishes it.

Where does the wick come out of the gingerbread house?

Out of the middle of the roof ridge, where the pour funnel sits. Drop a tabbed wick in before you close the halves so the tab sits in the middle of the house floor. The house is 50 mm deep, so a wick for a 50 mm pillar burns it evenly.

Can I use the gingerbread house mold for soap?

Yes. Pour melt-and-pour soap at 55 to 60 C instead of wax, spritz the funnel with alcohol to pop the bubbles and leave out the wick. A brown base with a white soap drizzled into the icing lines before the main pour makes a two-tone house.
