manufactures specifications. Cakes consist of one fuse attached to multiple tubes
which fire in a sequence, launching one or more effects into the air.

fused together, (also known as a candle barrage). A candle can contain multiple effects
and colours such as crackles or whistles and has a single point of ignition. Candles
are often used in multiples and arranged in fan or V to give wide effect or angled
to give a cross over effect.
