FaithfulScenter Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 My mother in law has requested I make her a "candle cake". This will be the first cake I've made. I ordered a silicone bundt pan from ebay, and I'm wondering if anyone has made these before, if they can tell me about how much wax the pan will hold? It is 10"x2.5".

PixyStixGirl Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Never made them but my silicone bundt pan that's 10" holds about 12 cups, dunno if that helps any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chefmom Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 I would put my Baker's Guess at three pounds of wax, maybe upwards of 4 pounds.Fill your pour pot with water, weigh it.Then pour the water into the mold to the depth you want the wax and compare how much water is left. Wax and water don't weigh the same, but you could guess that about 80% of the water weight would be wax weight. It would give you a guestimate.
