Overview
Cake with Yellow Candle is one of the 17 variants of Cake with Candle: same recipe, same hardness, same drops — only the look differs. The full write-up for the set is on the Cake with Candle page.
In Minecraft 1.21.4, Cake with Yellow Candle is a building block. It cannot be obtained in Survival — it exists for Creative mode and commands. A hardness of 0.5 means it is one of the quicker blocks to clear.
No specific tool is required to collect it. Instead of dropping itself it yields Yellow Candle. It offers almost no protection from explosions (0.5 blast resistance).
No recipe takes it as an ingredient.
