A Suggestion: Birthday Party Candles

This was reprinted in the May 2010 issue of Good Housekeeping magazine...

Good Advice...Never goes out of style
From Good Housekeeping, May 1994:
"Use creamy mint patties as candleholders on birthday cakes. Just make a hole in the center of each patty and fit the candle in. Place candle and patty on top of cake."

What a great idea - no wax on the cake! and no holes from those silly little candle holders that still drip wax on the cake!
