happy birthday to me

Happy Birthday to me. Any guesses as to my age? In any case, the image is from a cake that was the key player in a surprise birthday party for a friend of mine, but I figured I'd give myself a little virtual present. :)
We had heard that grouping the candles together made large flames, and decided to try it out. Well, as you can see, it certainly works and has a really neat effect. The downside is that the candles burn down to a nub twice as fast.
This photo will also start a food series that spans the time period of a year. Hope your stomachs are ready!

Happy birthday! Very beautiful candles, you were just in time to prevent the chocolate from melting. Maybe you are young but you are also very wise! I like the glow of this picture, may your glow shine through your life for the benefit of you and people around you, last but not least your blogfriends!
