Compound Cakes

Compound fireworks are a series of fireworks, usually firework cakes, that is pre-fused together to make a larger display.

 

This means you only have to ignite one fuse and then a chain reaction of explosions occur. Compound cakes can contain anywhere from two to six fireworks and anything up to 4kg of powder.

 

Some of the compound cakes here are huge and consist of three or four single ignitions and can last for several minutes. Compounds bring a whole new meaning to a “display in a box”.

FAQ’s

 

How does a compound cake firework work?

A compound cake typically has several tubes or shots connected by internal fusing.

 

When the firework is lit, the fuses inside each tube are ignited sequentially, causing the fireworks to shoot into the sky and create a series of aerial effects in a programmed sequence.

 

What types of effects can compound cake fireworks produce?

Compound cakes can produce a wide range of effects, including colourful bursts of stars, crackling effects, glittering effects, whistles, comets, and more.

 

They are known for their variety and complexity of effects.

 

How do I safely light a compound cake firework?

To safely light a compound cake firework, follow these general guidelines:

 

  • Read and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
  • Place the compound cake on a flat, stable surface and secure it to prevent tipping.
  • Ensure there are no flammable materials or obstacles near the firing area.
  • Use a long, extended lighter or an electric firing system to light the fuse.
  • Keep spectators at a safe distance, as recommended by the manufacturer.
  • Have a designated adult responsible for lighting and supervising the display.
