Macaron Candle Instructions

Materials:

• Wicks & Wax Macaron Mold
• Wicks & Wax Thumb Drill for Macaron Candles

• 1297 Paraffin wax (150g per 2 macarons)
• ½ teaspoon Polybar (per 2 macarons)
• ¼ teaspoon Mold Releasant (per 2 macarons)
• LX12-65 Pre-tabbed wicks

• OR BW921 Pillar Soy wax (150g per 2 macarons)
• No additives required for Pillar Soy wax
• HTP-65 Pre-tabbed wick

• Wax colour dye chips
• Candle fragrance oil or essential oils (optional)
• Container for melting
• Small container (teacup) for whipping
• Fork for whipping the filling

Method:

1.Ensure mold is level prior to pouring

2.Set aside some white wax to use for the filling later on

3.Using a double boiler system, melt wax with Polybar and Mold releasant to 195°F.

4.Slowly add dye to achieve desired colour. Add scents or oils.

5.Pour into the mold taking care to stop when the wax is level with the top of the mold.

6.Allow to cool, and remove from the mold. Lightly trim the macaron halves with a sharp knife, or melt on a warm skillet or fry pan, to desired thickness.

7.Reheat the white wax that you had previously set aside, until just melted. Whisk as it cools, until soft and “slushy”. Have a candle burning, and gently and quickly hold the flat side of a macaron half over the flame. Quickly place a lump of whipped wax onto the melted layer. Gently melt the other half macaron over the flame and add to the whipped wax, gently squeeze the filling out the sides. Take care to prevent coloured wax from running over the white filling. Have everything prepared and at hand for this step as the whipped wax has a limited working time. If required, simply reheat and re-whip

8.Once cooled use a Wicks & Wax Thumb Drill to make a hole through the centre of your macaron, insert wick, and trim to ¼”
