Geocache Description:

Aerial repeaters are the most exciting fireworks to watch. Cakes are multiple tubes packed together, thus they are a little firework show all in one piece by having a single fuse which ignites a preset routine of shells, fountains, and rockets. Smaller cakes can build anticipation or provide shorter self-contained shows, while larger cakes work well as a grand finale if they also have loud bangs.

Fireworks were invented in ancient China in the 17th century to scare away evil spirits, as a natural extension of one of the Four Great Inventions of ancient China, gunpowder. China is the largest manufacturer and exporter of fireworks in the world.

Fireworks are a class of explosive pyrotechnic devices used for aesthetic and entertainment purposes. Fireworks (devices) take many forms to produce the four primary effects: noise, light, smoke, and floating materials (ex.; confetti). They may be designed to burn with colored flames and sparks including red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, and silver. Fireworks are generally classified as to where they perform, either ground or aerial.
