Musical candles for a birthday cake are an original version of ordinary candles, they only work on batteries.

And also candles appeared on the market that display congratulatory inscriptions, reproduce different music or are endowed with other effects.

Musical candles have many advantages. First of all, we should highlight the unusual idea and colorful design, which will be remembered for a long time.

The body is made of food-grade plastic, which has no toxic odor and is completely safe to use.

There are several varieties of music candles. According to the complexity of the mechanism, they are divided into several types.

• Rotating... A mechanism is inserted inside that ensures the rotation of the product.
• No rotation... A standard product that plays music.
• Candles in one tier in the shape of a flower. When the flower “blooms”, the candles are arranged in a circle in one row. The maximum number in this case is 8.
• Candles in two tiers. This design holds 14 candles.

This option is also called "tulip". The flower is placed on a special stand with a leg, which is inserted into the cake. In the center of the flower there is a wick, when lit, a small fireworks with a colored flame starts to work. It should be noted that fireworks are absolutely safe, however, just in case, it is recommended to remove objects that quickly ignite. Such a surprise looks very beautiful and original, so the birthday man will definitely be delighted.

The greatest effect is produced by a blossoming bud, where each petal opens in turn to a melody that you can sing along with. From the fireworks, the rest of the candles that are on the petals are lit. When the lotus is fully opened, the structure will begin to rotate, creating an unforgettable sight.

A great option for boys who are fond of sports. A real champion's candle in the form of a prize cup or a soccer ball will delight a young athlete. The fireworks are inside another figurine, slightly smaller than the main one. Wax products have a variety of colors, you can find one that fully matches your child's favorite sports club.

This model appeared on the holiday goods market relatively recently, but has already become popular. The main feature of the wax product is the built-in musical mechanism that plays the entire song with words, not just the musical accompaniment. Included with the candle are instructions and a special elongated wick for ignition.

Some users face certain difficulties when using music candles. In some cases, the petals do not fully open, which leaves the candles tilted and the wax drips directly onto the cake. There are often cases when the flower does not open at all. In order to avoid an awkward situation, it is recommended that you first read the instructions for use.

Several recommendations for such a case.

• Some devices need to be pulled slightly from the bottom, then they will work properly.
• To light all the candles, you should lightly press on the petals, as if moving them inward. Then the wick will approach the central fire. As a last resort, you can light the candles yourself.
• When placing the product on the cake, make sure that there are no figures around it at a distance of 10 cm that will interfere with the opening. Otherwise, the flower will not be able to spin.
• Musical candles look very nice on a small hill. This can be done if the cake is strewn with large berries, covered with a layer of glaze or has a wide figurine on which you can install the structure.
