Last night we attended a birthday celebration for my friend Wendy. Her husband, Brandon, picked up an AMAZING banana cake from a bakery in Los Gatos called Icing on the Cake. Nate and I have officially found our new favorite place to get cakes in the Bay Area! We’ve really missed Extraordinary Desserts in San Diego…it only took us four years to find a replacement!
Anyway, Brandon also picked up these candles at the bakery.

Are they not the cutest, classiest candles you’ve ever seen? They’re called “Tag Party Candles.” I did a Google search and found them several places around the web, including Amazon. In fact, I just bought three boxes. That’s right, three. I never think to buy candles ahead of time and always end up getting whatever candles are at the grocery store, which are usually boring. Boring no more! The Maynards will have beautiful birthday candles from here on out.



These really are the neatest candles on the block
very pretty candles! i should get some for me. it’s birthday season in our family.
When my birthday rolls around in May, I have big plans for a food festival on my deck. The cake will be my very favorite Chocolate Fudge cake from my favorite bakery. These candles will do nicely. Thanks, Jane!
Oh man, these are gorgeous. I’m a huge candle fan. Napkins and candles are my downfall.
Just pinned to Pinterest! Super cute.
Icing on the Cake rocks! I got my wedding cake there! The carrot cake is fabulous – and I normally do not care for carrot cake!
I bet your wedding cake was delish!
we’ve been craving the cake since thursday…in fact, my sister drove down there today and we tried the carrot cake. I’m the same way, not a huge carrot cake fan, but I loved this one, too. yum!
Thank you for the fantastic Carrot Cake shout out, Stacie. That super chunky cake has been with us since day-one, 27 years and still just as popular. A personal favorite in my book, too.
Those ARE good-looking candles- Were it not for you highighting of them, I might never have given a thought to the fact that I am always short on candles, too. 🙂
