Short & patterned candles
There are 24 products.
Short birthday candles are the all-rounders for cakes, cupcakes and muffins. Here you will find plain candles in white, pink, light blue, dark blue, red, gold and silver, 10 cm candle mixes in rainbow colours, pink-fuchsia-gold or blue-silver-white, candles in silver, blue and green shades, pink and white polka dot candles, metallic candles in pink or with stars, multicoloured candles with stars, gold and silver bubble candles, gold star candles and «Happy Birthday» lettering candles. For an extra effect there are rainbow candles with coloured flames.
Most packs contain 10, 12 or 16 candles including holders. The pink, green and grey set combines one large «Happy Birthday» candle with 12 matching small candles, and the multicoloured Happy Birthday candle is a lettering piece with letters in six colours.
Tips for short candles
- For cupcakes and muffins one short candle per piece is enough, so every guest gets their own wish.
- Patterned candles look best on a simply covered cake in a matching colour.
- Only push the plain candles from the sets of 10 into completely cooled cakes or muffins, otherwise the holders will not sit securely.
- The rainbow candles with coloured flames look most impressive if you dim the lights for a moment.

How do the coloured flame candles work?
Each of the 12 rainbow candles of 6 cm burns with a coloured flame and is pushed into the cake with a white holder. Like all candles they are decorative, not edible, and must never be left burning unattended.
