Welcome to the Cake Decorators Q&A
Candles?
Just a quick question, wondering what others do. When you decorate a children’s birthday cake, do you add birthday candles, include it in the design or leave it to the parent… For example two Minecraft cakes this week, should I have ten candles on one seven on the other , for the child’s ages, or leave the candles to the client.
Thanks

Hi Sue-Wales
I always leave it to the customer to sort out sparklers and candles but I tell them first that I don’t do the candles.
Hello Sue-Wales
This is one that we all seem to want to avoid – we don’t like sticking candles into our cakes, unless it’s part of the cake design…!
What I do now for childrens’ birthday cakes is supply candles that compliment the cake, I just put them in a tiny bag inside the cake box, and leave it to the customer to put them where they like. Personally I give candles free but charge extra if they want sparklers
