Like we always say, "Come for the glasses. Stay for the pyrotechnics."
In the Daily Dish blog of the LA Times, restaurant critic S. Irene Virbila has fallen under the sparkly spell of the Happy Birthday Flowering Candle, available at l.a.Eyeworks retail stores in Los Angeles. Be the bearer of this twirling, whistling, animated cake topper, and light up any celebration with pyrotechnic petal power as a single shimmering column of flame blossoms into 14 rotating mini-candles. It is true. And you will be a legend of Promethean proportions.

p.s. We have successfully road-tested the Happy Birthday Flowering Candle on cupcakes . . . often.
p.p.s. Tempting as it might be to wear on your head, . . don't!
BE FLAMING BUT BE CAREFUL
