Oh my God we did this for my grandfather's birthday there was 70s some candles on the cake and it was like a bonfire!
@Nick-le4xt
That’s what happens when you buy candles from Amazon
@venusadonis7969
Blowing lighted candles just makes the fire bigger. Putting that plate over is the best way to put off the fire!!
@Eashlynne
Just put a plate over it my gawd! 😂 It's like no one has s put a candle out with a lid before lol

This happened for my nans 50th we even used the extra long thin candles like idiots so they all melted inward and made a huge flame funny photos from that day now we just use the numbers.

Well that's just mean to put trick candles on an 80-year-old's birthday cake! 😂
@exdestroyer9818
Instead of putting 80 candles on the cake… how about putting the number 80 candles on the cake… you know… like a competent person…
