I'm an avid cook and baker, and usually find that I've been delegated, or bribed to complete the task of baking almost everyone in the extended family a birthday cake. (I really don't know if it's a compliment, or I'm just a push over). However, in my experience, all of the men have loved these candles and I always keep an extra set on hand, as they go over so well. They're high quality, and equally cute.
