Nice plant but I'm really confused how old it is?

Sorry for the confusion, it’s 3 years old with 9 candles (seed pods) on the ‘cake’.

I find Epithelanthas very slow from seed - you've done well there!

Yes, it looks a good size for three years. Plus the fruit takes a good while to develop so must have flowered even younger than that.
