Someone posted it on CC the other day.

I want to try a 3D fire cracker this year. My plan is about four 6" rounds stacked on top of each other, and then a dome or something used to make the top "arrow point" section... and some "legs" added to the bottom, cut from sheet cake. Alternating red & white stripes. I may stack it onto a sheet cake or a larger round cake & draw a parade going around the sides, because we have a small town parade on the 4th & it seems like the entire town attends. Thanks for posting this question!

I just posted a watermelon cake in my gallery. It was easy to do, but I think you would have to have an airbrush. let me know if I can help you out. It was a small cake, but the church function loved it for the 4th of July gathering
