Cake with Light Gray Candle is the decorative block formed by placing a Light Gray Candle on top of an uneaten cake. It functions as both a cake and a light source, and can be lit like any other candle.

Uses

  • Decorative Lighting — When lit with flint and steel, a fire charge, or a flaming projectile, the candle atop the cake emits a light level of 3, the same as a single standalone candle.
  • Edible Cake — Right-clicking without a candle in hand eats a slice from the cake, which removes the candle and drops it as an item, reverting the block to a regular cake with one fewer slice.

Found In

  • Crafted, not naturally generated — Place a light gray candle on top of a placed, uneaten cake block.

FAQ

What tool do I need to mine a candle cake?

None — it breaks instantly by hand. Breaking it always drops the candle; the cake itself does not drop.

Can I eat the cake while the candle is lit?

Yes, eating a slice removes and drops the candle regardless of whether it was lit, extinguishing it in the process.

How much light does it give off?

A light gray candle cake emits light level 3 when lit, the same as one unstacked candle.

Does breaking it drop the cake too?

No, only the light gray candle drops; the cake block is destroyed without dropping an item.
