Papyrus Birthday Candles, Ombré (24-Count)

Festive and Fun Ombré Candles These Papyrus birthday candles turned out to be a great addition to our celebration. The ombré coloring is subtle but festive—it gives the cake a more polished, stylish look compared to plain candles. They’re a good length, not too short, so they stand out well on the cake without dripping wax all over. I also liked that the pack comes with 24, plenty for a full birthday setup or for use across several occasions. The flames burned cleanly and evenly, and the colors didn’t bleed or melt down the side in an unattractive way. They’re sturdier than bargain candles I’ve used in the past, which often bend or break while trying to stick them into the cake. Something to keep in mind: since they’re a bit longer, they do give off more light and can drip a touch more wax if left burning too long—so it’s best to light them right before singing and blowing out. Bottom line: Stylish, well-made candles that add a fun pop of color and a touch of elegance to any birthday cake.

This is an excellent and easy way to decorate a homemade BD cake, especially for those of us "decorating challenged" when it comes to food presentation. We no longer allow "blowing out the candles" but it is still nice to have the cake set "ablaze" by candlelight. The colors are cheerful and perk up any birthday celebration.

Beautiful candles

Dgtr wanted these for her cake and they turned out perfect! Quick delivery. Bright colors.

I love the candles They even look better in person. I just wish whoever was packing them would have used their brain and maybe wrapped them in bubble wrap or something so they would not break ugh smh so now I have broken candles and I got these ones because they would be delivered today when I needed them ASAP well, that was all for nothing. Really Amazon uses big boxes and bubble wrap for the smallest thing and some of their packers really need better training other than that the candles would have been great.

I loved the rainbow hues on this and it was pretty affordable for being a more nicely designed candle. They were a lot smaller than I imagined but still worked well.

I wish these ombre candles were packaged by color and it would make it even better, but they are gorgeous when shipped with good padding. The last box I ordered arrived damaged--see photo and it makes a big difference. I wish I could find these locally but thanks to Amazon for carrying these because they are a favorite.

Great!
