Yup.  You got it.  I can't remember how many of 'em there are, but thats
how i did it.  not as difficult as it sounds since i use a modeller
though.

I had some problems with the candle though - i had to turn off it's
ability to cast shadows since the media flame caused an ugly grey shadow
around it on the cake, and if i turned off the flames ability to create
shadows, the glow from the light didn't go anywhere.  <sigh> tradeoffs.
