candle blowing
Wish-making breath act
Candle blowing is the act of extinguishing candles by blowing air from the mouth, most commonly associated with birthday celebrations where the honoree blows out candles on a cake while making a wish: She took a deep breath before the candle blowing.
The phrase also appears in contexts of meditation, relaxation exercises, or simply putting out candles at the end of an evening.
