Multicolor Happy Birthday Candle

No cake goes uncrowned. Two words in looping multicolor script, cast as a single candle that says the whole sentiment in one elegant stroke — no alphabet to arrange, no letters to lose.

The cursive form reads as hand-lettered rather than printed, a hot-pink flourish that sits up on its stick and turns the cake into the centerpiece. From Meri Meri, who treat party goods as design objects worth keeping the box for.

Many happy returns — in cursive.
