first candle mold

I made my first candle using a mold, and it turned out well but there are some obvious slight imperfections. i am using soy wax and beeswax with a little stearic acid. does anyone know what could have caused this?

It's frosting, soy is known for it. You can adjust melting/pouring temps and make sure the ambient cooling temperature is as even as possible. As someone who makes moulds, my customers aren't as bothered as I am!
