Fun Birthday Party Cake Candles For All Styles

I can’t get over the options you have in birthday candles today. Today’s bright, thematic, crowd-pleasing birthday candles are a far cry for the waxy little twigs we used to use back when we carefully counted those things.

How do you like these Birthday Girl Pick Candles (12), a set of 12 pink candles that spell out the words “birthday girl” on a cake. (There’s a sweet birthday boy version in blue as well). The candle wicks sit at the top of each letter, generating gorgeous light that makes for a stunning birthday cake presentation.  These birthday candles are so photogenic, you’ll capture some wonderful memories of the birthday girl blowing out the candles.

Molded character candles are a kids’ favorite.  If you’re having a cartoon theme birthday party, you’re sure to find related character candles like Sesame Street or Dora.   We also loved these pink Princess Candles (4) that are just the right candle addition to princess birthday cupcakes. Each candle is a cute pink crown that will be adored by the princesses.  These can get pricey, but they’re unique and worth keeping.

For both kids and adults, we loved the color possibilities in these . It’s these small, inexpensive details that can tie a party theme together and reinforce the experience.  Say you’re having a gold-theme party, why not use these
Gold Cake Candles (16) They are similar your standard 2 1/2 inch high birthday cake candles but they come in fabulous colors like gold and lime green.  Another advantage to this type of candles is that it is easy to light one from the other.  So, rather than fumbling with matches or burning your finger as you try to light them all, you can use one candle to light the others.

But in the end, who can resist these fat, adorable wax number candles like the Blue #2 Molded Candle that always brings smiles and good wishes.
