Answer
Hi Tiffany,

There are 2 ways to make a bundt cake candle. One way is using a life sized bundt cake pan. The only thing is, that you have a hole in the middle of it. Some candlemakers will not even bother with trying to secure something to try and even pour into the middle. There is more aggravation trying to stop the leaking than the candle would be worth. So some people will just pour the candle in the mold as it is.  The other way is to get a candle mold that is to be used specifically for candlemaking. The bundt cake molds I've seen have the holes covered, like it's one entire piece of plastic.
Hope that helps and good luck in your candlemaking!
