FAQs
How do I spell out a message with these candles?
The candles are individual letters. You arrange them on the cake to spell out your desired message, such as 'Happy Birthday' or the recipient's name.
Are these candles suitable for all cake types?
They are best suited for cakes with a flat, firm surface for insertion. This includes cakes with a solid frosting layer or dense cake base.
How long do the candles typically burn?
The burn time can vary depending on factors like wick length and air currents, but they are designed to last through the cake-cutting ceremony.
What material are the candles made of?
They are standard wax candles, designed for decorative use on cakes.
Can I reuse these candles?
No, these are single-use birthday candles.
How should I store the unused candles?
Store them in their original packaging in a cool, dry place away from heat sources.
Troubleshooting
Candles will not stand upright
Ensure the candles are inserted into a firm, flat surface of the cake. If the cake is soft, try inserting them into a thicker layer of frosting or a small piece of edible support.
Wax dripping excessively
Trim the wick slightly if it appears too long. Ensure the candles are not placed in a drafty area, which can cause uneven burning.
Difficulty removing candles after use
Allow the wax to cool and solidify completely. Gently wiggle the candle base to loosen it before pulling it out.
