Thirteen letter candles that spell Happy Birthday straight across the top of a cake. Each one is bright rainbow wax finished with a gold dipped tip, so the phrase itself becomes the decoration instead of a scattering of plain candles.

Every candle stands 7 cm tall measured with its wooden pick, and the pick is the part that matters: it pushes into frosting and holds the letter upright rather than letting it sink or lean. Talking Tables designs these for a birthday at any age, and there is no plastic in the candles or in the box, which is recyclable at home.
