 This is a weird and wacky birthday cake that delighted us all and is a demonstration of the strange novelties that you can buy in China! The cake itself almost looked fake, such was the perfection of the decorations! But the highlight was absolutely the birthday candle.  Far left – you see what looks like a tulip, lit up and exploding with a flame with the ferocity of a blowtorch. Then, when you’re over the pyrotechnic shock; it opens up into a pretty rose with petals which are each a lovely dainty candle – and starts singing happy birthday!! We all wanted to buy one to take home, but I think that customs may have disallowed it on the basis of flammable material!
