birthday candle
Wish-granting cake topper
A birthday candle is a small, thin candle placed on a birthday cake, typically one for each year of the celebrant's age.
The candles are lit, and the birthday person makes a wish and blows them out—traditionally in a single breath for the wish to come true.
She took a deep breath and blew out all the birthday candles.
