Chrsitmas 2010 - Homemade Salute Cake with Festive Stars!

This display follows my rocket dislay, which can be found here:

Heres an 18 shot salute cake i made for my Mums boyfriend as his christmas present!
The salutes have roughly 1g of 70/30 ti spiked flash powder in them.
In each 3/4" ID mortar there is a salute (with a TT/Ti star attatched as a rising tail) and a coloured star (i alternated between red and green)

The cake decided to go rapid fire, instead of the 1 shot every second, but i think it looked better like this! haha
I really need to start developing these as anti aircraft guns! :)

Hope everyone has had a great chrsitmas
Enjoy

@Killerrany

1) i live in England, UK

2) I have a chemical supplier that deals with UK residents only unfortunately.
