The Azlok 0-9 Number Birthday Candle Mould lets you make custom number-shaped candles at home. Pour melted candle wax into the transparent silicone mould, add a wick, let it set, and pop out a clean number from 0 to 9 that you can place on any birthday or anniversary cake.
It's a simple tool with a big payoff: instead of buying stiff, thin store candles for every celebration, you can craft thicker, better-looking numbers in any colour you like. Priced at ₹199 for one mould, it's an easy addition for hobbyists, small candle businesses and anyone who enjoys DIY décor.
What you can make with it
The mould is designed to shape candles as numbers, so it suits almost any milestone.
- Birthdays: a single number for a first birthday, or two numbers side by side for a sweet sixteen, 25th, 50th and beyond.
- Anniversaries: mark years together with a matched pair of number candles.
- Home décor: decorative table pieces, party centrepieces or gift add-ons.
- Small-batch selling: makers can offer personalised number candles as a product line.
Each finished candle measures roughly 6.8 x 8.4 cm, giving you a bold, easy-to-read number that photographs well on a cake.
How to use the mould
Working with silicone is forgiving, but a little care gives cleaner results.
- Prepare your wax. Melt candle wax (paraffin or soy) gently using a double boiler until fully liquid. Never heat wax directly on a flame.
- Add colour and fragrance. Stir in candle dye and, if you like, a fragrance oil once the wax is off the heat.
- Set the wick. Place a pre-tabbed wick in the mould cavity, or thread the wick through and hold it centred. You can secure the top with a small stick laid across the mould.
- Pour carefully. Fill the number cavity slowly to avoid air bubbles. Leave the mould on a flat, stable surface.
- Let it cure. Allow the candle to cool completely at room temperature. Rushing this step can cause dents or cracks.
- Unmould. Because the silicone flexes, gently peel it back and ease the candle out. Trim the wick to about 1 cm.
The transparent silicone makes it easy to check how the wax is setting and whether the number has filled fully.
Tips and safety notes
- Test one number first to judge how much wax you need before pouring a full set.
- Let wax cool slightly before pouring into silicone; extremely hot wax can shorten a mould's life over many uses.
- Keep hot wax away from children and pets, and work in a ventilated space.
- For decorative number candles that will be lit briefly on a cake, keep the wick short so the flame stays small and controlled.
- Never leave a burning candle unattended, and remove it from the cake before it burns down.
- Wash the mould with mild soapy water and let it dry fully before storing.
Buying and storage
You get one silicone mould per pack, made in India, in a flat sheet format measuring about 25 x 20 x 0.5 cm and weighing around 150 grams. Store it flat or loosely rolled in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, so it keeps its shape. Good silicone can be reused many times if you avoid overheating it and clean it gently.
Azlok stocks this number mould alongside candle wax, wicks, dyes and fragrance oils, so you can pick up the supporting supplies in one go if you're just starting out.
FAQ
Which numbers can I make with this mould?
It is designed to make candles shaped as the numbers 0 to 9. For a two-digit age you simply make the two numbers you need and place them together.
What type of wax works best?
Standard candle waxes such as paraffin or soy both work well. Melt the wax gently, add colour and fragrance off the heat, then pour.
Is the mould reusable?
Yes. Silicone moulds can be used repeatedly. Just avoid pouring extremely hot wax, clean it with mild soap after use, and dry it fully before storing.
How do I get the candle out without breaking it?
Wait until the wax has cooled completely, then flex the silicone gently and peel it back from the candle rather than pulling the candle out.
Can beginners use it?
Yes. It's beginner-friendly. The main things to get right are melting the wax safely, centring the wick, and letting the candle cure fully before unmoulding.
