Number candles
The number candles are sold as individual digits, so you buy the ones you need and set them side by side for any age — including two and three-digit ones. Each is wax on a wooden pick that pushes into a cake or a cupcake and holds upright instead of leaning. The designs are clean wizarding motifs: a wand, stars, Harry’s glasses, the logo and the lightning bolt.
House and character candles
House candles are the choice when the party has a theme already; number candles are the choice when the birthday itself is the point. Many people buy both, because the numbers go in the middle and the house candles around the edge.
- Hogwarts house candles — the four crests, for a party with a house theme.
- Character candles — Harry, Hermione and Ron.
- Number candles — individual digits on wooden picks.
Using them safely
Light candles only under adult supervision and never leave a burning candle unattended. Remove the candle and the wooden pick before cutting and serving the cake — the pick is a small, hard part and is not food. Keep candles out of reach of children before use, and keep them away from hair, paper decorations and anything else on the table that will burn.
