What’s the difference between dipped, poured, cast, and pressed candles?

Candles can be crafted using various methods:

• Dipped or poured candles are made by repeatedly dipping a wick into hot wax, or by pouring wax into a mold until the desired size is achieved.

• Cast candles are created by pouring hot wax into a shaped mold, which then hardens into the final form.

• Pressed candles are made by compressing wax flakes or powder into shape using pressure.
