ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Cake (firework)

Okay kiddo, so you know what a firework is right? It's like those things that go boom and make pretty colors in the sky.

Well, a cake firework is like a big bunch of those fireworks all put together in one big box. When you light it up, it shoots out a whole bunch of little fireworks all at once.

It's called a "cake" because it kind of looks like a cake - it's all stacked up in layers with different kinds of fireworks in each layer.

But remember, fireworks can be dangerous, so only grown-ups should handle them and make sure to follow all the safety rules. Let's just enjoy watching them from a safe distance!
