'At my age, the candles cost more than the cake'. It's a joke, by tradition one candle is bought for every year old you are for your birthday cake. If you're 10 years old, you get 10 candles, if you're 20 you get 20, etc. The joke means that, the person's age being so high, they have to buy so many candles that the total price of the candles is higher than that of the cake.
