This one bakery in town did it for their 10th anniversary, 'it' being a record for the most lit candles on a cake :p

One big cake!
The numerical candles stating there are 25,625

Then we got to the fun part and bunch of people lit it, then it kinda spread by itself. :p
Fire!

After all was said and done...
The parking lot got waxed.
and the cake...
...was rather toasty.

That is pretty cool. That was a huge fire. I wouldn't of wanted the job placing those candles, though.
It's twice as clear as heaven and twice as loud as reason.

They probably have some sort of candle gun to lay them down on the cake.

I would have thought the candles would need to remain lit independent of eachother.. I mean, the entire cake was just engulfed in flame. That should not count. :p

Not really gold, with candles that close that is just what happens. The cake itself wasn't burning.

Damn, that's a lot of candles. . .how did you light them?

we had a birthday party for mary, and we ran out of matches to light the cake, so dad went out to the garage and got the blowtorch. . .I think the last part of the story is rather self explanitory, eh?

I think I might have a picture around here somewhere. . .

There were about 12 people with those little flamey grill lighter things.
