I hope the wall is made of brick, and the flame is nowhere near the glass...

Here's a couple from IKEA. BTW, there is absolutely no problem having a candle within a few inches of a sheetrock painted wall, I've done it for years.

The scone needs to be very stale before it goes on the wall and I doubt you'll find any that will satisfy UL.

Who wants to use a real candle these days when there are battery operated LED substitutes available with no safety issue possible?
Real candles anywhere are just potential disasters waiting to happen.
For those that don't know, some of the LED units even have the look and smell of wax candles and are effective enough that you can be fooled into thinking there is a real flame.

Marty,
I too was thinking of the edible kind.

Agree with the led substitutes. We tested one, it came with a small lithium ion battery (like a small coin). The "candle" flickered a bit , on purpose, similar to a candle in a soft breeze.
It lasted for 9 1/2 days, 24 hours on per day.
Sorry can't supply source, it came with a small lantern and i am in Australia, but they must be easily available. Cost me 4 or 5 dollars complete with lantern.
Good luck with your project.
Best regards, seachange
