Buying advice
- Match the colour to the theme: pink and purple for princess and unicorn cakes, light blue and navy for nautical themes, black for elegant grown-up cakes and Halloween.
- Multicoloured is the cheerful choice for children's parties and rainbow cakes.
- White suits any cake and still looks festive thanks to the glitter, for example at christenings, weddings or in winter.
- Combine with number candles: a number candle in the centre surrounded by glitter candles in the same colour creates a harmonious look.
Frequently asked questions
How many glitter candles do I need for a cake?
Traditionally one candle per year. For higher ages it often looks nicer to use a number candle and add a few glitter candles.
What are the candle holders for?
The holders keep the candles steady and catch dripping wax so it does not land on the cake. They are especially useful on soft buttercream and whipped cream.
Are glitter candles suitable for cupcakes?
Yes, the slim candles are ideal for cupcakes, muffins, cake pops and desserts in a glass. Simply place one candle in the centre of each cupcake.
