Good Idea or Bad Idea: The Edible Birthday Candle
Admit it: After you blow out the candles on your birthday cake, you pull them out one by one and lick the icing off.
But according to Yum-Wick, the first edible candle company, you should be biting into your cake decorations.
The Yum-Wick products aren’t made with wax or string.
Instead, they’re handcrafted from pure Belgian chocolate, and each one is complete with a nut for a wick.
In other words, these “candles” are basically flammable candy.
While they’re customizable (you can choose from milk, white or dark chocolate), and can be painted with any name or logo, we’re still not sure it’s a good idea to munch on something we just lit on fire.
The candles range from $4 (for a small, plain design) to $9 (for crystallized sugar, Nonpareils and drizzle coating).
Or you could buy an entire set for about $70, but by that point, we doubt you’d still be hungry for cake.
Check them out here and let us know if you’d add them to your snack stash.
