18th Birthday Ice Lolly Sticks – Finally 18
Pre-engraved with "FINALLY 18" — the tongue-in-cheek one, and the obvious pick for the friend who has spent the whole year being the youngest in the group. Flat birch wood ice lolly sticks, ready to use straight from the pack with no minimum order and no custom run required. Order a single stick or up to 10,000.
FSC-certified natural birch, laser-etched with no inks or dyes, so they are food-safe for direct contact with cakesicles, ice lollies and chocolate-dipped treats. All four sizes held in UK stock at our Blackpool warehouse for same-day despatch.

Frequently asked questions
How many sticks do I need for an 18th birthday party?
One stick per cakesicle or lolly, and one treat per guest is the usual allowance. A house party of around 25 friends needs 25 sticks, so a pack of 50 is the right order and leaves plenty over for a practice batch. If the sticks are also going into cake pops or dipped strawberries, count those separately.
How quickly can I get these if the party is this weekend?
All four sizes are held in UK stock at our Blackpool warehouse and despatch the same day on orders placed before the daily cut-off. Because the wording is already engraved there is no artwork stage and no custom run, which is the usual reason personalised sticks take a fortnight.
What size stick is best for cakesicles?
Both 93×10×2mm and 114×10×2mm fit the standard UK cakesicle moulds. 93mm is the usual choice and sits neatly in the mould; 114mm gives you more stick to hold, which suits deeper moulds and larger cakesicles. The 200×24×2mm paddle is for oversized, statement pieces — it will not fit a standard mould.
Can the sticks go in the freezer?
Yes. Birch handles freezing without splintering, which is why it is the standard for ice lollies. Freeze the finished lolly with the stick in place as normal — the engraving is cut into the wood, not printed on, so it will not lift or fade at low temperatures.
Will the engraving affect the taste?
No. The lettering is laser-etched into the surface of the wood — no inks, dyes or coatings are used at any stage, so there is nothing to transfer into the food. The sticks are food-grade and safe for direct contact with chocolate, ice cream and set sugar.
Can I get a name or date on them instead?
Yes — our bespoke engraved sticks take any wording, including a name, age and date, with no minimum order. Useful if you want the guest of honour's name on the sticks rather than a stock saying.
Trade buyers can open a Trade Account and save up to 40% against retail prices. Ordering 100,000 or more? Hot stamping works out considerably cheaper at that volume.
Also needed: Cake Pop Bags, Clear Cello Bags and plain wooden ice lolly sticks.
