When to buy a 500 gram cake?
When shopping for a good 500 gram cake don't automatically
think that the diameter of the shots will make it better than an item with
shots of a
smaller diameter. Try to go out to various manufacturer or retailer websites
to see if they have any movies available to watch of these items going off.
With each item costing normally around $45.00 - $80.00 it is important that you get
one that you will like. We have talked about cake items contain a
performance label, all 500 gram cakes that I have seen have this label. If
you are unsure about what a specific effect does, don’t be afraid to ask
someone working there.
Are these a good substitute for a well thought out finale?
In my experience these items only work for a substitute for a finale when
you have a small budget. This item will out perform most items in your show
so this is the perfect finale for you. For those of you that have larger
budgets to play with you are going to use more than just a 500 gram cake.
Try to get other items that will go great with you 500 gram cake.
When a 500 gram can be substituted for something cheaper
At first I was impressed with all of the 500 gram cakes but after seeing and
thinking about some of them, they weren’t as great as I thought. A few of
these types of items can be easily substituted with a mortar rack or a bunch
of smaller cakes fused together. Now when I look at 500 gram cakes I try to
pick out cake that have effects that I cannot duplicate with a rack or
fusing multiple smaller items together. Another factor that it comes down to
when deciding about whether to purchase a 500 gram cake or another large
artillery kit (must have rack to produce similar effects) is; convenience.
If you are one that doesn’t want to mess with fusing or rack building then
these are perfect for you. Also maybe you have mortar racks but not enough
needed to set aside for your finale then these again are a better item for
you.
New larger 500 gram cakes
2004 brought on a new line of huge 500 gram cakes. These cake have
shots of 100 or more. I tried out one of these newer large cakes called
America's Rhythm. This cake was an amazing pieces. When I selected this cake
I went for one of those new "Z" cake designs. A lot of the larger cakes are
the same as their smaller 500 relatives just maybe two or three shot more.
If you want to try one of these larger cakes try to get one that doesn't
imitate one of the smaller 500gram cakes. These larger 500 gram cakes cost
roughly twice as much so if you want a cake that it similar to one that is
$40-$45 I would recommend buy two of the smaller.
