A few people have inquired where I scored these crazy sparkler birthday candles for Ken’s birthday, so I thought I’d share! I had to do a bit of research to find these, because I wasn’t quite sure what they were actually called. I’d really only heard of them being served atop desserts in french restaurants for birthday celebrations, and wasn’t even sure they were sold in the US. In the end, I was happy to find them at Custom Sparx, a Florida company that specializes in custom sparklers. They’re available in a ton of colors, and I stocked up on a few extra gold ones for my party stash, so they’d be versatile for any event we wanted to use them for in the future.
They don’t come with instructions, so we were a bit nervous when lighting this bad boy (which is why we lit it on a small table close to our balcony door!), but there was no need to be–they are completely safe for indoors. Just make sure the pointed end of the candle is securely placed into the cupcake or cake, light, and enjoy! The large flame shoots out of the tube, lasts for about 30 seconds and is quite a wow!
