Right. Candles now.
You've seen the balloons. You've seen the cakes. Now here's the thing that goes on top. The bit that gets blown out. The moment everyone gathers round and sings at you.
These are metallic number zeros.
Shiny. Silver or gold depending what I've got. Or what you choose. Look dead smart on a cake. Much better than those coloured ones that clash with everything.
Why number zero?
Good question. Zero's for when the age ends in zero. 10th. 20th. 30th. 40th. 50th. You get it. Milestone birthdays where the zero matters.
Or you're doing multiple numbers. 1 and 0 for 10. 2 and 0 for 20. That sort of thing. Buy a few and spell out the age.
What you need to know.
They're metallic. Shiny. Reflect the light. Look good in photos. Standard candle size so they fit in most cakes. Not those massive chunky ones. Just normal.
Pack of one. Number zero. You might need more than one if you're doing double digits. 10 needs a 1 and a 0. 20 needs a 2 and a 0. You know the drill.
Who's buying these?
People turning 10. Double digits. Big deal.
20th birthdays. Leaving teens behind.
30th birthdays. The big three oh.
40th, 50th, 60th. Any zero birthday really.
Anyone doing a themed cake and wanting the numbers to match.
People who've bought the balloons and want the candles to match. Looks good together.
Do they come in different colours?
Yeah. Usually silver or gold. Sometimes rose gold if I've got them. Select at checkout what you want. If I'm out of one I'll message you and see if the other works.
How long do they burn?
Long enough. Few minutes. You're not lighting them hours before. Light just before singing. They'll last through Happy Birthday easy.
Can I get other numbers?
Yeah. Got a separate listing for each number. 1 through 9. Mix and match. Build whatever age you need.
When should I order?
Few days notice if you can. If you're in a panic and need them same day message me. Might have some in stock. Might not. I'll tell you straight.
Collection or delivery?
Collect with your cake. Or I can deliver if you're getting other stuff. Probably not worth delivery just for candles but you do you.
One thing to mention.
They're candles. They burn. Don't leave them with kids unsupervised. Obvious but got to say it.
Also the metallic finish might scratch a bit if you rub them. Handle gently. They're for looking at not stress testing.
Right. That's the zero candles done.
Perfect for milestone birthdays. The ones ending in zero that feel like a big deal.

The delivery drivers aim to deliver your order within the selected time slot. However, delays may occur due to circumstances beyond our control, such as traffic. If this happens, we will try to contact you using the phone number you provided.
When the driver arrives, they will knock or ring the bell. If there is no response, they will attempt to call you. If still unanswered, the order will be returned to our store. In such cases, you will need to contact us to arrange redelivery (charged at our standard delivery rate) or collect your order from our store free of charge. Delivery charges are non-refundable.
If you miss your scheduled delivery day and request a refund or a replacement cake for the next day, an additional charge will apply.

On receiving your order, please check your cake carefully, especially the written message and its condition. Any damage must be reported immediately. Please take clear photos, inform the driver, and refuse the delivery if necessary. Once a delivery is accepted and the driver has left, it becomes more difficult for us to investigate. As we work with third-party couriers, minor imperfections may occur. While we strive to fulfil every order with care, we ask for your understanding of slight damages. If your cake arrives in poor condition, please take photos and return it with the driver to the store for a refund.
For any issues such as missing items, damaged cakes, or changes to your delivery date or time, please contact your local store directly. If the matter is unresolved, you may email us at hello@cakestown.co.uk
