500 gram cakes around the world

Hello,

It is clear that around the world fireworks rules are being changed. In different countries so-called 500 gram cakes are being permitted. Take for example a look at Germany and in the USA (see pages 5 and 6 of the PDF download).

I am just wondering if anyone has seen any other good overall product reviews of these 500 gram cakes? I am looking for reviews that include a fair "analyses" of the value for money, the effects, originality, etc etc.

What's the situation like in UK? And other European countries?

There are many great 500g cakes in the US (and some lame ones). 500g is the max composition allowed, with a max of 60g per tube (20g lift/tail, 40g burst and effects), flash powder isn't allowed in the US (except for 130mg, so that doesn't really count). The reviews you link to from AFN really aren't very good in my opinion. If you want to see lots of US consumer fireworks, this site has reviews and many pictures and videos:

This forum is the best place on the net for US consumer fireworks, there is very active discussion, organized regional events, and a gallery feature recently added that has many pictures and videos:

Hey RPG thanks for this info.
60grams per tube in the USA, here in Holland we can have 15gram maximum but we can use flash and if i am right it is aloud to you use with a max of 2 gram per tube. I always thought that the Americans had the same!!
