How do you put candles on a birthday cake it is fancy the need to be coming out of side?

Here's how to put candles on a birthday cake so they come out the side, creating a fancy look:

Materials:

* Birthday cake

* Candles (choose ones with a wide base for stability)

* Cake decorating knife

* Optional: Small, sturdy skewers or toothpicks

Instructions:

1. Plan your design: Decide how many candles you want, the arrangement (linear, clustered, etc.), and the depth you want them to stick out.

2. Mark the cake: Use the cake decorating knife to gently score lines on the side of the cake where you want the candles to go. This helps you maintain a straight and even placement.

3. Create the candle holes:

* For shallow depth: Gently push the base of the candle into the marked line on the cake. You may need to wiggle it a bit to get it in.

* For deeper depth: If you want the candles to stick out significantly, use a small, sturdy skewer or toothpick to create a hole slightly deeper than the candle base. Insert the skewer at a slight angle, then carefully remove it. Push the candle into the hole.

4. Insert the candles: Carefully insert the candles into the prepared holes, making sure they are stable.

5. Adjust as needed: Use your fingers to gently adjust the candles, ensuring they are all positioned to your liking.

6. Add any decorations: Once the candles are in place, you can add other decorations like sprinkles, frosting, or edible flowers to enhance the look.

Tips:

* Candle size: Choose candles with a wide base for stability. Smaller candles might be more difficult to insert.

* Cake consistency: If your cake is very soft, it might be harder to insert candles. You may want to let it chill in the refrigerator for a bit to firm up.

* Use a toothpick: If you're struggling to insert a candle, you can use a toothpick to create a small hole first.

* Practice makes perfect: If you're new to this technique, try practicing on a scrap piece of cake first.

Variations:

* Diagonal candles: Insert candles at an angle for a modern, sleek look.

* Clustered candles: Group candles together for a dramatic effect.

* Edible candles: Choose edible candles for a fun and safe alternative.

Enjoy your fancy birthday cake!
