Birthday candles are small, decorative candles traditionally placed on top of a birthday cake to celebrate a person’s birthday. They are typically lit just before the birthday person makes a wish and blows them out as part of the celebration.
Key features of birthday candles include:
- Various Colors and Designs: Available in a wide range of colors, patterns, and themes, from simple solid colors to glittery, striped, or themed designs like numbers or characters.
- Number Candles: These candles are shaped like numbers, often used to represent the age of the birthday person.
- Different Sizes: Birthday candles come in different heights and thicknesses, from tiny candles for smaller cakes to larger, more decorative ones.
- Easy to Light: Made with a wax or paraffin blend that is easy to light and provides a steady flame.
- Non-Toxic Wax: Safe for use on cakes, made from non-toxic materials that won’t affect the taste of the cake.
Uses:
- Cake Decorations: Placed on top of the birthday cake as part of the celebratory decoration.
- Birthday Traditions: The birthday person typically makes a wish and blows out the candles as part of the birthday celebration.
Birthday candles add a fun and festive touch to birthday cakes and are a central part of the cake-cutting tradition at parties.
