The candle making apparatus comprising an electrically heatedmelting chamber from which melted wax flows into an attached dispensing chamber and a valving mechanism which, when turned by hand, allows a pre-set amount of melted wax to flow into a removable mold, eliminating the need for measuring by the user. The apparatus accomodates making candles of different volumes, whereby the removable molds may be filled by the user of the apparatus by executing a predefined number of turns of the valving mechanism. The removable mold also functions to hold the candle wick in plan, and may be made to form candles of various shapes and sizes.
