Haha! Very clever. However, there is some grain throughout the photo. If I were to guess, you used a high ISO because of how dark the setting is? If this is the case, try using a lover ISO (100 or 200) next time to prevent the grainy after effect. This will require you to use a tripod or something comparable to it. If there is still some grain after that, then you can use Photoshop's "Dust and Scratches" tool to fix most of it as well. Then the only other thing I can think of is the blown out exposure of the candle. The only way I can think of to fix this would be to focus on the flame itself when you are getting ready to take the photo. That way the camera adjusts its exposure to the lightness of the flame and keeps it properly exposed. Then you either move the camera after it is focused, or crop it to get the same frame you have now.

:) Sorry if this is all old news to you, but hopefully it helps you out someday. Good luck!
