Burning Sporty Gewgaws

Sports fans can have their cakes and eat them too with these whimsical sport-themed, cake-topper candles from Gloria’s Cake and Candy Supplies. There are baseball-shaped candles ($3.29), soccer ball and football candles. And for you couch-potato fans, there are candles shaped like televisions and beer cans. It’s best to go to Gloria’s before baking your cake because the store also sells molds, dyes, spangles and every sort of sugary gewgaw imaginable.

Gloria’s, 3755 Sawtelle Blvd., Los Angeles. (310) 391-4557.
