Macaron candle mold

A macaron candle, 62 mm across: domed shell, ruffled feet, the filling set back. A rigid two-part print.

Candle wax ~174 g

A macaron candle 62 mm across and 36 mm tall, shaped like the French pastry: a smooth top shell with a soft dome and a rounded shoulder, the ruffled, bubbly "feet" under each shell standing a little proud, the filling set back between them with a slight bulge, and a bottom shell with a flat base to stand on.

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, and the tool's own seam check finds nothing stuck. The feet flatten a little where the seam crosses them. 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, and paint the filling a contrasting 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.

How this mold works

What you need

3
  • About 81 g of pillar wax: the cavity holds 90 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 about 3 mm back from the feet, 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 62 mm wide but only 36 mm tall, so it burns as a short, wide candle.

How much wax does one macaron candle take?

About 81 g of wax, 90 ml. A 1 kg bag pours about ten, which makes it a cheap favour for weddings and parties.
