Practical Tips For At-Home Firework Displays

• Plan your firing order: Start with low-noise, low-level pieces like fountains and candles. Save rockets and finales for the end.

• Think about angles: Mix straight and fan-firing cakes for variety. It stops the show from feeling flat.

• Double up smaller cakes: Lighting two of the same cake at once creates a pro-level look without needing giant fireworks.

And if you really want to put on an epic display then we've pulled together everything you'll ever need to know in our Ultimate Guide to At-Home Firework Displays.
