I have always inserted my candles in Styrofoam instead of the cake to burn for birthdays. Then the candles could burn longer without getting wax all over your cake. This also works good if you have a ice cream cake, less melt and mess. The lit candles are blown out the same as if it were on a real cake. The Styrofoam works well, just throw all away no mess and no wax on cake either. Works great and cake tastes good too. All works well.

Lifesavers work well too!
It sounds like a fairly good idea. Unless, of course, the candle wax melts the styrofoam and releases its chemicals into the air or on to the cake.
That ruins the fun of blowing out the candles on a cake. If you don't want to have wax on your cake, light them right as your singing happy birthday.
