Birthday Candles

Birthday candles are used as a symbol of celebration, often adorning the top of cakes and other desserts to recognize the anniversary of a person's birth. These small, slender candles vary in height, color, and design, representing the age of the honoree and allowing for a unique and vibrant display during the special event. Typically made from paraffin wax or beeswax with a cotton wick, birthday candles are lit to create a warm and festive ambiance. Guests gather around to sing "Happy Birthday," and the person celebrating their birthday then makes a wish and blows out the candles. This longstanding tradition is believed to bring good fortune and happiness for the upcoming year.
