A macaron candle 60 mm across and 40 mm tall: two smooth domed shells, each with a ruffled foot, and a slightly narrower filling layer between them, like the French pastry.

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 macaron is round, so a seam through its middle releases it cleanly, and the tool's own seam check finds nothing stuck. No silicone needed.

Sweet, small and quick to pour: good for wedding favours, dessert gift boxes and pastel sets. Pour it in pistachio, rose or lavender, or pour the filling a different colour. The zip carries both halves, the macaron master as its own STL, the tool's own print-settings sheet and a recipe file for the generator.

What you need

3
  • About 88 g of pillar wax: the cavity holds 97 ml
  • A tabbed, primed tealight-size wick, about 50 mm long
  • Rubber bands or clamps, and a clip or wick bar across the funnel

How to cast it

5
  1. Print both halves as exported. Clamp-strength settings: 4 walls, 40% gyroid infill, no supports.

  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 and trim the wick.

Questions about this design

Can I pour the filling of the macaron candle in another colour?

Paint it after casting: the filling is set 3 mm back from the shells, so a brush run round it stays neat. Pouring layers in a two-part mold standing on its side does not line up with the filling.

What wick suits the macaron candle?

A small tealight-size wick. The macaron is 60 mm wide but only 40 mm tall, so it burns as a short, wide candle.

How much wax does one macaron candle take?

About 88 g of wax, 97 ml. A 1 kg bag pours about ten, which makes it a cheap favour for weddings and parties.
