"BTW, Linn: do you think it's wise to put candles on a cake that contains alcohol? "

Tami where is your sense of adventure Darlin...lol
I can see the scene now..Linn sets the Cake on the table. Mary lights the first candle, all the other candles without warning go whooooooooosh...Party Game time. Who can grab a piece of burning Cake wearing an Oven Mit and breathing apparatus:)
Mary perhaps regular Candles would suffice rather than the ones that won't blow out!! **BG**
Have a great B Day Partay all.
Love
Jude
