Cake with Cyan Candle

What is a Cake with Cyan Candle?

A Cake with Cyan Candle is a decorative and interactive block in Minecraft, created by placing a Cyan Candle on top of a Cake. This combination allows players to light the candle for celebrations, themed parties, or atmospheric decoration. When the Cake is eaten, the Candle remains, making it a great choice for tropical, aquatic, or fantasy-themed events.

Like all Candle Cakes, the Cyan Candle can be lit using Flint and Steel or a Fire Charge, and the flame can be extinguished by right-clicking.

Where Can Cake with Cyan Candle Be Found?

A Cake with Cyan Candle does not generate naturally and must be crafted by players. To create one:

1. Craft a Cake – Using 3 Wheat, 3 Buckets of Milk, 2 Sugar, and 1 Egg in a Crafting Table.
2. Craft a Cyan Candle – Made from 1 String and 1 Cyan Dye (obtained by combining Blue Dye (Lapis Lazuli or Cornflowers) with Green Dye (Cactus smelting)).
3. Place the Cake down first – Then, right-click the Cake with the Cyan Candle to attach it.
4. Light the Candle – Use Flint and Steel or a Fire Charge to make it glow.

Once placed, the Cake can still be eaten slice by slice, and when fully consumed, the Cyan Candle remains behind as a separate block.

• Tropical or beachside decorations, pairing well with Sea Lanterns, Prismarine, and Sandstone.
