HOW DO SURPRISE BIRTHDAY CANDLES WORK?
These surprise birthday candles are so easy to prepare. Each package comes with two candles with wicks and one package of edible confetti.
Here are step by step directions on how to use these:
- Open the package.
- Add one candle onto your cake.
- Next, pour half of the edible glitter package into the candle top.
- When ready to use, light the candle and step back a little.
- The candle will burn briefly (approximately 5-10 seconds) before popping.
- The VERY quick pop of confetti comes out of the candle and then falls down onto the cake and surrounding area.
Voila. That's it. It is such a quick process, you will not want to blink.

ARE SURPRISE BIRTHDAY CANDLES MESSY?
Yes, these surprise party popper candles are fairly messy. However, the cleanup is very easy. The edible confetti is not sticky by nature, so a quick dry wipe is all it will take to get them off your table.
Once the candle has popped, the reach of the edible confetti is pretty small. I would say that it spreads no more than 8" away from your cake in any direction.
To keep the mess in check, I would try to avoid having it pop over any table linens if you can.
WHAT DOES EDIBLE CONFETTI TASTE LIKE?
You might be wondering if the edible confetti has any flavor or if it will alter the flavor of your cake.
Surprisingly when eaten over your cake, you can't really taste anything.
Even when you taste them alone straight from the package, they really don't have much taste at all.
