Hi Pucca!
Thanks for your quick reply.
How about ''whiff the candles out'?

LoL - I think candles are tasty, instead of eating the cake, I eat the candles!

I have just looked up what "whiff" means, it doesn't seem to be a very possitive thing, is it?

There is an example here, the only possitive one I've found, I think: "I caught a whiff of fresh coffee"

Let's wait for someone who can help us!
