Now you can have your cake and eat the candles, too, thanks to three Purdue students who have created an edible birthday cake candle that uses hydrogenated soybean oil instead of petroleum-based paraffin. You work 9 to 5, pick up the kids, take one to soccer practice and one to piano lessons, have dinner, attend a parent meeting at school, come home, do laundry, watch the late news, go to bed, get up the next day and start all over again.
