Genuine Fred ROMAN CANDLES Roman Numeral Birthday Candles, Set of 8

The candles were a great addition to our custom made black and white tuxedo with top hat birthday cake. The candles didn't take away from the cake but added to its unique look and style. In addition to that, my husband was turning 65 and really didn't want a big 6 and 5 on top of his cake. He appreciated the way the roman numbers LXV were displayed on the cake. It said 65 without saying 65!

The candles are a bit small, but nevertheless they are brilliant. I used them for my boyfriend's 32nd Birthday on a small sized cheesecake and IT LOOKED GREAT!, but If the cake was any bigger it would have been too small and would have looked funny.The unique idea of the roman numerals makes it worth it!!!

I admit that I like to read about Roman history, so these candles had a direct appeal for me in that regard. But! When I turned 40, I put the XL on my cake and people really did a double-take - there were many humorous comments about them, all positive because it's a "big" birthday! People really enjoyed how different and fun they are. Most important, the candles are a good size; they don't take up too much space on the cake and yet they retain their notice-ability. They were easy to light and stayed lit for people to see them and for me to make a wish. I got a second set because I plan to use them again for myself and friends. They honestly still make me chuckle - I think they're really cool.

What a great set of candles, you can literally use them for any birthday! they are so cute, the white is very white and the silver definitely stands out. They are a great size, not too small, not too big. unfortunate by they are larger than the toothpics, they sometimes fall down a little, i mean its heavy, totally understandable.

Love these candles. There are 9 candles in the following denominations: XXXX V IIII. The only thing I would tell the manufacturer to add is a 1 to 100 listing of numbers translated to Roman Numerals because I had to look it up on the Internet. It's a fun way to celebrate the old fogies (like me, who, at age 50 got a kick out of putting it on a cake for someone 62).

My husband is a Latin teacher, so I couldn't pass up the opportunity for Roman numeral candles for his birthday! They were sturdy and didn't immediately start melting. We didn't have them lit for very long, so I don't know how long the wicks last. Needless to say, he loved it!

I bought these candles for the husband's 60th birthday. And the guests loved them! It looks a lot more cool to have "LX" on your cake instead of 60 little candles or even the numbers 6-0. BUT there is a silver film on each candle and it fell off the "L", can't be put back on again. And they are quite small. You can use them twice only if the birthday person is quick about blowing them out. I will not be buying these again unless they improve their product.

I loved how this turned out for my husbands 31st bday. Makes it feel like a more mature way for him to blow his candles. I would recommend.

Me gustaron mucho las velas, son de muy buena calidad. Lo único que mejoraría sería el tamaño, ya que al ser pequeñas, se acaban muy rápido.

We used the Roman Numeral Candles for a relatives 80th birthday party, everybody remarked on the novel idea, much more creative than a simple 80 candle. Younger family members even learned about roman numerals in fun way, while joking with the older generation! Delivery was fast and good value for money. Excellent product.

Cuando llegas a cierta edad en la que la s velas ocupan más que la tarta en si, es momento de recurrir a los maravilloso números romanos. Mi madre llevaba años sin querer velas y con estas no protesta!

I expected the candles to be bigger in size, and to be better quality. Although I should have read the dimensions of the product, they were a lot smaller than I was anticipating. I used them for the first time earlier today, and some of the silver on the candle has already fallen off. I shouldn't have been expecting so much from birthday candles, but I don't believe my money was well spent.

Estarán chiquitos pero le da un toque elegante a la fiesta, inclusive se ven bien aunque se despinten, le da un toque rústico al pastel :P
