Soft Rainbow Birthday Candles for Cake – 24 Long Thin Candles

The Soft Rainbow pack brings a mix of lighter color to a birthday cake. It contains 24 straight, slim candles with white holders. In the gallery, the colors run through yellow, green, aqua, blue, lavender, and pink, so the cake can pick up several shades without matching one exact party color.

Style a cake with the soft rainbow mix

Try a short arc near the back of a round cake when you want the frosting design visible from the front. On a wide sheet cake, divide the candles into small groups and leave room between them for a message or a clean cutting line. A cake with blue, pink, or lilac frosting can echo one of the shades in the pack; a darker frosting color makes the lighter candle colors easier to distinguish in a photo.

The candles are straight and narrow rather than spiral. The included white holders are visible beneath each colored candle in the product photos. Decide on the arrangement before lighting, then remove the candles and holders before serving the cake. For more layout examples, see the birthday candle arrangement guide.

Choose soft color or a metallic finish

This is the softer-color rainbow option. If you want deeper, reflective colors instead, compare the Metallic Rainbow Birthday Candles. That separate 24-candle pack has a metallic coating. Compare the two galleries before choosing: the finish and color intensity change the look of the cake even when the candles are arranged in the same pattern.
