Today was Lauren's big one year birthday party. I made her one of my bunny cakes... but what I was really excited about was a candle I got at the Chinese grocery store. A Happy Birthday singing candle! You light it... it shoots sparks into the air while it plays Happy Birthday, then the flower bursts open with six lit candles. Wooowee!

    I found a site that sells the candle you bought wholesale to stores. I absolutely love the Engrish description: http://www.alibaba.com/catalog/11595478/Birthday_Candle.html

    "no safety or pollution".

    I bought one too! When I lit it, all the wicks fused together and the entire thing went up like a bonfire! It melted all over the cake and then, in the final sputtering and smoking, the music kicked in with a few pathetic notes.
    Best. Birthday Candle. Ever.
