I actually began using birthday sparklers on cakes as a child because my father sold them in his fireworks store.  It became a family tradition to always have a cake with sparklers for everyone in my extended family.  When I started a new high school in 9^th grade, I wanted to share that tradition with my friends and quickly had to increase my supply because everyone wanted birthday cake sparklers and there was no way to buy them online (it was the early 90s after all).

What are Birthday Cake Sparklers You Might Ask? There are actually many kinds.

• There is a candle that acts as teeny tiny sparkler often called birthday candle sparklers.  Kind of sputters and is not that exciting.
• There is a sparklers candle cone that shoots a fountain but leaves lots of residue on the cake and makes the icing melt.
• There is a sparkler in the shape of a number – cute, sometimes hard to find and the number is never illuminated all at once.
• Finally, there is the absolutely perfect basic sparkler that can be used on a cake and looks perfect.

Are Cake Sparklers Safe?

Absolutely.  There is no residue that will fall off from a birthday sparklers candles onto a cake or cupcake making it safe to eat once the sparkler has been removed.  Please know that you cannot blow these cake sparklers out.  You simply will have to wait for the sparklers to finish sparkling.  It takes about 40 seconds.

Where Do I Buy these Cake Sparklers?

How Do I Light the Sparklers?

The birthday cake sparklers are simple to light.  Simply stick them in the cake and use a match or lighter to get them lit.  The cake sparklers will stay lit for about 40 seconds and cannot be blown out.

• The 10 inch sparklers are thin enough for birthday cake and cupcakes but not sold with party supplies in stores
• Some people order the 20 inch sparkler products if they are using them in a large wedding or birthday cake.
• If doing so, it is helpful to ask your cake maker to add a ring of Styrofoam to the bottom to stabilize the longer sparkler

Step 3: Decide if you would like to have guests hold additional sparklers for a fun effect at the birthday party

• Some people not only want to have a few sparklers in a cake, they also want guests to hold sparklers
• This is best done outside
• You will also have way better photos with the more sparklers lit

Step 4: Insert the cake sparklers into the birthday cakes as deep as possible and simply light them for the celebration.
