Trick Birthday Candles Cool or Evil? - Page 2

And FYI - Sparklers on the cake look pretty but they render the top inediable.

And I love trick candles.

No wonder my brother kept making jokes about spitting when the pie came out. I didn't get that until now. I asked him to blow them out for me. I get a cake tomorrow and will make my "Official wish" then: I know I can't tell anyone what that wish is or it won't come true but anyone who knows me very well already knows what it is.

I like fire better than cake, so I choose cool.

Here's what a birthday cake and candles should look like

Hahah!! Put me down with the pyro camp.

I've never had to deal with trick birthday candles though.

That cake makes me long for the real sparklers on the volcano desert at Rainforest Cafe in DtD. They just put a mylar thingy on top and call it sparkly. Dang fire laws........

I'm a pyro, but I'm no fan of trick candles. The sparking gives it away, but then you're still supposed to try blow them out like a tool, and everyone gets to laugh at you for sucking at something that's impossible. Longer time blowing also means more wax in my frosting - and that's just crappy.

I'd like my next bday cake to have that Indiana Jones fireball effect. Whoosh!

You can toss a grenade into a birthday cake, just make sure that I get all of the colorful icing roses off of the top first. Those are so delicious! I don't like the "bready" part of cake. Just the icing, please. No grown-up cakes, I'll take the ones loaded with roses & toys.

Considering most adults luge at the sight of those roses usually means an easy score for AllyOops!.
