Candle Mold – Gingerbread Man

"Gingerbread Man" Silicone Mold: The Sweetest Holiday Addition

Bring the nostalgia of fresh-baked cookies to your candle collection with this Gingerbread Man mold. A must-have for the holiday season, it's perfect for creating gift sets or fun table decorations. The design captures the festive spirit, and thanks to the durable silicone construction, you can produce large batches without the mold losing its shape. It is particularly great for beekeepers, as the natural color of beeswax perfectly mimics the tone of baked dough.

Instructions & Compatibility:

• Suitable Materials: Beeswax, soy wax, palm wax, paraffin, ceramic plaster, creative concrete, epoxy resin, and soap base.
• Preparation: Apply silicone spray. Center the wick. It is essential to secure the mold with rubber bands to prevent leakage.
• Pouring Temperature: Pour wax between 50°C and 60°C. Controlled temperature ensures a smooth surface without shrinkage marks.
• Safety: Always use caution when handling hot wax.

💡 Expert Tips for the Gingerbread Man:

1. Watch the Limbs: Arms and legs are the most vulnerable parts. Never demold while warm. Wait until the figure is completely cold and hard. When removing the candle, gently release the limbs first before pushing out the body.

2. "Real Cookie" Effect: For total realism, if using soy wax, add a pinch of brown dye and cinnamon or ginger scent. If you are a beekeeper, use wax from older frames (darker wax) to achieve that natural toasted look without additives.

3. Button Details: The mold features small reliefs for the buttons and face. Tap the mold firmly immediately after pouring to ensure no air bubbles get trapped in these tiny crevices, ensuring a perfect smile.
