Light Bites are forks with candle holders built into the tops‎,‎ so you can plunge a few forks into a cake and‎,‎ once the candles are blown out‎,‎ you can dig in right away‎.‎ The candles are made of plastic and can be washed and reused as many times as you like‎.‎ They come in a set of 12‎,‎ with 12 candles included‎.‎ The candles are fairly standard birthday candles and are easily replaced when they burn down‎.‎ These forks are perfect for birthday parties because you will never have to worry about who’s bringing the silverware ‎(‎I’ve been to more than one party where cake ended up being eaten with our fingers‎)‎ to serve it‎.‎ A dozen forks is perfect for most layer cakes‎,‎ and having no more than a dozen candles available is perfect if you don’t want to take the chance that someone is going to put the “real” number of candles on your cake‎.‎
