Birthday candle

A birthday candle is a small, slender wax candle typically adorned with colorful decorations or numerals, specifically designed for use in celebrating birthdays. These candles are often placed atop birthday cakes, cupcakes, or other celebratory desserts. They serve as a symbol of joy, marking the passage of another year in the life of the birthday celebrant. Birthday candles come in various shapes, sizes, and colors, ranging from traditional cylindrical forms to novelty shapes and designs. They are often lit just before the birthday person makes a wish and blows them out, a customary ritual believed to bring good luck and fulfillment of desires. Whether it's a simple single candle or an elaborate array representing the celebrant's age, birthday candles hold a special significance in commemorating milestones and adding a touch of magic to birthday festivities.
