Why Do We Love Cake Candles?

That characteristic smell and the excitement when you blow them out – candles are simply the perfect party essential! The answer is simple: it's tradition.

Our candles for birthday cakes are available in lots of designs and colours, and our plain colour candles are sure to add a splash of colour to any cake. If you're looking for the classic message style, browse our Happy Birthday candles. We also have a great range of number candles for every age, along with children's character candles and themed designs.

Looking to make a statement or have an extra big cake? Then our tall candles are perfect too! Whether you need something novelty, unusual or more traditional, you're sure to find something special when you shop with us.

Sparklers and Novelty Candles

Novelty candles are a popular accompaniment to more traditional designs. Whether you need fairy cake candles for a batch of cupcakes or that special extra candle to make your cake look the part, we have candles in all shapes, sizes and colours for you to choose from.

Popular novelty choices include small numbers, candles with flames that change colour, and cake sparklers. Cake sparklers are like a mini firework display, but on your cake! Why not mix and match a sparkler with our other designs for a cake everyone will remember?

No cake is complete without a celebration candle, and with Free and Next Day UK delivery options available, we want you to have your candles on your cake and eat it (eat the cake, not the candles)!
