The cake we had for dinner on Sasha's birthday was a birthday cake, and of course no such cake is complete without candles.
I had accidentally bought "magic candles": when you blow them out, they automatically go on again. The only way to turn them off completely is put them in water. Now, that by itself would have been okay, but it specifically said "keep 3 inch between the candles and don't use more than 12 per cake".
Well. Pictures below.
