Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a decorative candle-like food, by embedding a wick material consisting of a combustible edible material in a state of upwardly projecting by a given length in a body consisting of an edible material having shape holding property at ordinary temperature without staining cake surfaces even by burning the wick body. CONSTITUTION:A wick inserting hole 2 is formed in the central part of a cylindrical body 1, e.g. chocolate, consisting of an edible material having shape holding property at ordinary temperature and a wick body 3, e.g. spaghetti or macaroni, consisting of a combustible edible material in a state of upwardly projecting from the top surface of the body 1 by a given length is embedded in the wick inserting hole 2 and supported. Thereby the wick body 1 frames up by ignition and the resultant food is suitably used as a decorating candle erected on a fancy cake, e.g. birthday cake, etc. Since both the body 1 and the wick body 2 are constituted of the edible materials without changing flavor, the candle can be eaten after snuffing the flame.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Industrial applications The present invention relates to candle-like food products.

Conventional technology Candles are generally used for lighting, interior decoration, and combination purposes, but at present, candles are used for
In particular, it is very often used as a decorative candle placed on a decorated cake, and on the 11th birthday, candles are placed as many as the number of years on the L of the birthday cake, lit, and then the flames are blown out to be used as a decoration by the guests. The act of receiving a blessing has been practiced more widely than ever before.

In this way, decoration cake Nini☆Niteru candles are conventionally similar to general indoor lighting and interior decoration candles, with a wick made of fiber embedded in the center of the body made of wax formed into a roughly cylindrical shape. It is common to use something.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, the time from lighting a candle to blowing it out, that is, the time the candle remains lit, is normally within about one minute at most, and after blowing out the candle, Not only is it a waste as the candles are usually removed from the cake and thrown away, but wax often drips onto the cake L while it is burning, staining the surface of the cake. It has many problems, including the disadvantage that children may mistake it for edible food and put it in their eyes.

Means for Solving the Problems The main purpose of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems. The upper part of the main body is made of edible material that retains its shape, such as chopped nuts and rice crackers.

A core body made of edible food such as spaghetti, macaroni, kanpyo, etc. that can produce flame when ignited is buried in the main body with a predetermined length protruding in the L direction, giving it a candle-like appearance. That is.

Function: When a food product formed into a candle shape by combining an edible body and an edible wick as described above is placed on a deflation cake and the wick is lit, the appearance is much different from that of a conventional candle. The core will ignite and burn without any difference.

After blowing out the flame, the candle can be eaten as is or with the wick removed, for example with a cake or as a candle-like food alone.

Example Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In Fig. 1, l is a cylindrical main body with a core insertion hole 2 formed in the center, and the main body l is a confectionery using chocolate (milk chocolate, white chocolate, or a combination thereof), biscuits, or candy. type (activation, etc.)
It is made of any edible material that has a certain degree of hardness and does not change its shape indoors.

Reference numeral 3 denotes a core body, and the core body 3 has a diameter that matches the core insertion hole 2 of the main body 1, and is fitted into the core insertion hole 2 while protruding a predetermined length upward from the upper surface of the main body 1. Depth embedded.

The wick 3 is made of combustible edible material, but when lit, it emits a flame in almost the same shape as a conventional candle, continues to burn for a period of time after igniting multiple candles until they are blown out, and It is necessary that the product satisfies all conditions such as not emitting an unpleasant odor when extinguished.
Macaroni, kanpyo, etc. are used. Of course, these can be used as they are or heated (including deep-fried).

The wick 3 may be inserted and held in the upper part of the wick insertion hole 2 as shown in the first figure, or it may be inserted and buried along the entire length of the wick insertion hole 2 up to the lower end like a conventional candle. Also, the shape of the main body 1 is not limited to a cylindrical shape, but can be a prismatic or 9-conical shape.

Any shape such as a pyramidal shape or a spherical shape may be adopted.

Furthermore, it is not always necessary to form the core insertion hole 2 in the main body 1 as shown in FIG. 1; for example, as shown in FIG. It is also possible to have a structure in which the r portion of the core body 3 is simply embedded.

An experimental example will be described below.

(1), At the top of the main body made of chocolate shaped like a rod,
A candle-like food product was produced by embedding raw almonds cut into 1.5 m square and 15 m long pieces as a core.

When the wick was lit, it produced a flame similar to that of a conventional candle and continued to burn for 60 seconds. The body, made of chocolate from which the embers have been removed after combustion, does not lose its shape, and the flavor remains unchanged.

(2) A candle-like food product was produced by fixing a fried rice cracker of 4 mm square and 20 mm length as a core to the upper part of a main body made of a cylindrical baked biscuit.

When the wick was lit, it continued to burn for about 40 seconds with the same flame as a candle. The main body of the biscuit (with the burnt residue removed) remained edible with no change in flavor.

Effects of the Invention As described above, the candle-like food product of the present invention can be formed to look similar to a conventional candle, and when the wick is lit, it burns with the same flame as a conventional candle. It can fully function as a decorative candle placed on top of a decorated cake such as a birthday cake, does not scratch the surface of the cake, and since both the main body and the core are made of edible material, the flavor is released by burning. Since it does not change, after blowing out the flame, it can be eaten and enjoyed like a cake.Practical 1 - It can bring about a great effect.
