The Sri Chinmoy Centre in New York holds the Guinness World Record for lighting the most birthday candles on a cake, with over 70,000 candles being lit. Unfortunately, due to the large number, Sri Chinmoy was unable to blow them out and had to resort to using a fire extinguisher! In this case, the number of candles did not correspond to the number of years passed, as Sri Chinmoy was celebrating his 85th birthday at the time.
