Birthday Candles

You cannot make a wish without blowing out the birthday candles. Although decorating a cake with candles is a time-honored birthday tradition, today your options for this cake-top classic are marvelously diverse. In addition to the customary tapered twist and number-shaped pink or blue candles, you can top your cake with sparkler candles, candles that burn with rainbow-colored flames, roman numeral candles and prank candles that keep re-lighting. Spell out Happy Birthday with candles featuring letters, or choose candles molded to resemble familiar cartoon characters. Carry on the tradition of blowing out the birthday candles, and infuse extra magic into this special day by selecting candles suitable for a once-a-year occasion.
