Best Firework Cakes for 2020
Some of the top consumer fireworks for sale in the UK
With Bonfire Night in the UK fast approaching we thought that it it’s a good time to bring you our guide to what Love Fireworks think are the best firework cakes that you should be looking to add to your own parties and celebrations this year.
Cake Fireworks Types
Cakes are also known as barrages and are all multi-shot fireworks. They range in duration from 5 seconds for the ‘dump’ style cakes that fire all their shots together up to over 4 minutes for the largest compound cakes. The calibre of the individual types can be 15mm up to 30mm and some of the larger cakes will contain a mixture of calibres What are the 6 types of consumer cakes available to buy in the UK today? Here’s a rundown;
Straight Cakes
As the name suggests, these fire their shots straight up into the air one after the other. If space is limited these are the best type of firework cakes to go for.
Fanned Cakes
Fanned cakes shoot 5 or more shots into the sky at a time in a fan shape. These are probably the barrage to go for if you want a sky filler!
W-Shape Cakes
Think of a 3 pronged fork! 3 shots lift at a time in a W-formation. Sometimes the centre effect will be different from the outside two effects.
Z-Shape Cakes
Similar to fanned barrages but Z-shape cakes fire their shots into the sky one at a time working across from left to right and back again producing a windscreen wiper effect. They really have the wow-factor!
Single Ignition Fireworks (display in a box)
The predecessor of the compound cake (see below) these really are so easy to use and are ideal if your asked to bring one firework to a bonfire night party! Light one fuse and stand back as up to 2 minutes of fireworks erupt from the box!
Compound Cakes
The BIG brother to the single ignition! The main difference is that these are more then one firework cake joined and fused together to make one HUGE firework lasting up to 4 minutes and containing up to 4kg of explosive! They can be multi-directional too so they may start off as a straight cake and then turn into a fanned cake and subsequently a Z-shape cake! The possibilities are endless!
