Flaming Cake

It was my little brother Jeffy's birthday this weekend, and he always requests this brownie ice cream cake. My mom had purchased some tall super-skinny candles with no wicks and some short squat ones that spelled out happy birthday. We put them all on, then I started lighting the short candles while she started on the tall ones. She gets a few lit, but the short ones i'm lighting have started to melt the wax of the taller ones. Soon the tall candles are all starting to fall over, the wax melting off the middle and the entire wicks becoming exposed. All the newly exposed wick ignited, and, well...

turns out ice cream can burn!
