Cake & Candles is free to use. We do not currently charge for creating cakes or lighting candles. Although we plan to continuing to offer a free service, we may make certain features paid in the future.

Yes! When lighting a candle, you can upload your own photos or choose from our GIF library powered by Tenor. Your images will be displayed alongside your personal message on the candle.

Once you create a cake, you'll get a unique shareable link that you can send to friends and family. They can visit the link to see the cake and light their own candles with messages.

Simply share the link with the recipient at any time. Many people share the link with the recipient early in the process so they can watch the cake evolve as more candles are lit.

Yes, you can edit candles that you've lit. The system remembers which candles you've created and allows you to modify your message and media, as long as you do so on the same browser. Alternatively, sign in before lighting a candle and you can edit it at any time.

There's no limit to how many people can light candles on a single cake. The more candles, the more special the celebration becomes!
