worked very well and looked beautiful on my daughter's birthday cake, so cheerful and original thank you lakeland

These candles are tricky to light and the flame is only coloured for a short time. By the time we had lit them all, the ones that were lit first were just normal flame colour. We had 13 to light.

I purchased the Angel Flames Candles from my local Lakeland store. They were for my nephew’s birthday cake that I had made for him and I thought they would be “something a little different” well they were certainly different. They took absolutely ages to light (not good with a room full of excited children) the blue ones wouldn’t stay lit at all and the flames could only be seen if the room was quite dark and they all struggled to stay alight! Sadly I cannot recommend these. I regretted not using normal birthday cake candles.

We bought these candles on a recent visit to Windermere to adorn the cake my wife made for her father's 90th birthday. Unfortunately they were hard to light and unless you were presenting the cake in a completely darkened room, the flames were almost invisible. Very disappointing and could not recommend them. The remaining candles are heading for the bin!

I buy a lot of things from Lakeland and I am rarely disappointed with my purchases. However the Angel Flames that I bought to go on my great niece's 5th birthday cake were a total waste of money. They took a long time to light and those that had any resemblance of a colour had a very feeble flame which kept going out. As the children were losing patience I abandoned them and used some ordinary cheap ones that I managed to find in a drawer. They saved the day. A huge disappointment for us all. (I would have rated them with zero stars but there is no option for this.)
