As the years go by and yet another birthday flies past you, you start to notice that the cake to candle ratio is inexorably shifting in the candles' favour. It isn't long before your birthday cake starts to become a fire hazard, resembling the sort of beacon that used to sit atop cliffs to warn us of the approaching Spanish Armada. Aside from the worry that you might well set the cat alight, it's surely better as time moves on not to draw too much unwelcome attention to quite how old you are. Hence the excellent invention of Roman Birthday Candles, which enable you to get the number of years right for any birthday from 1 to 89, without resorting to something that looks like the Black Forest being sacked by the Visigoths. Not only do you now have a manageable and civilised amount of candles on your cake, but it also looks very classy, and the older you get, the less likely people will be able to work out exactly how old you are. Brilliant.
