Other than noise I would have to say my favorite effect would be the strobe effect. Favoriet strobe cake I found so far would be Dominators Mammoth Strobe. A close second would be a loud howling wistle to a nice break.

Crackle of course. :cool:
I'm becoming a fan of whistle to color break as well.

Rather fond of anything that finishes in a crackle myself. I bought 5 cases of "Power Assortment 14" (each case has 3 different cakes) just because I wanted 5 of the "Glitter and Doom" cakes for my pre-finale rack. I love Vegas Lights as well, but I couldn't snag any this year. Apparently they went pretty fast.

I am a palm/willow kinda guy-love the full draping effect, also like crackling effects and whistle chasers.
Fave cake is Brothers High Falutin'-get em every year (just got a case of them Monday) PBP

A big ol' willow with a nice, long hang time is thrilling to me. I also love the geometry of different comet fans.

I'll take a few fireballs to end the show.
If looking for a normal effect in 1.4 I like crossette's.
1.3 love me some Nishiki (long hanging brocade).

I really dig the fan effect of Pyroclastic. I've got 3 red razzle cakes to pull apart and make 15 5-way fans. Hoping I get something akin (albeit smaller) to Pyroclastic.

I'm loving comets and three stage whistle at the moment. Neither of which I have plenty of this year either!

Fave cake is Amazing Ballet and I love the big comets and glittering horsetails

Comet and crossette effects top the list, strobes (ground) are also cool.

When I use that cake in my shows I always just match single rows and shoot one at a time when needed. In fact I do that a lot with Wfboom fan cakes.

Favorite effect would have to be a good Brocade Crown. HOnestly cant tell you many effects that I dont like. They only one that would come to mind that I dont care for is whistling.. like Saturn Missiles or Whistling Moon Travelers.. It drives me nuts haha...

Favorite cake is very hard for me to pick, 200 gram favorite would be Bug Eyed by World Class.. 500gram would be Whacky Tobacky or a new NOAB by World Class called "Believe", it has some big hard breaks and performs so well..

If you haven't tried this, you should try the combo of any Saturn missiles with a tail and salute cake.
Iv used Saturn missiles with a silver tail with 25 shot tks and it's a really nice effect.
