Candles are dangerous.
They can get very hot and can cause powder explosions (I have a picture somewhere, of a birthday cake, so loaded with icing sugar, that the candle-blower-outer inadvertently caused a huge flash. The party looked like a scene from Backdraft.)
Answer - Flame Retardant Safety
Candles: They won't burn whatever you do to them. (The wick is made of Asbestos and Mycre (sp?).)
(Other candles are available: Magnesium Ribbon Candles, TNT and new C4 - for those who want their party to go with a bang.)
(Inspired by several HalfBirthdays coming-up, and just passed)

Davy lamp candles - but I don't know if these work for particulate explosions, like icing sugar [+]. |

Wasn't Mycre Sherlock Holmes' brother? |

This could be even more dangerous. Picture a bunch of halfbakers confronted with a candle that 'needs some help' lighting. + |
|
| |
BTW, C4 just burns when lit. </shut up - damn pedant> |
|
| |
AH, you spotted that... Well, that one's got some extras to it (The Thermite one's fun, too) |

He's in line behind the other 7 people. |

Pedant: Argh! The eyebrows! They're on the loose! Help! I'm being savaged by a wild eyebrow! |

A Baker can make anything burn. If you have an answer, we have a problem. |

Lurking in the undergrowth, watching you through a night-vision scope. |

Safety tip: using thermite to light BBQ's is Not Advised (although it does work). |
