With some of your rope that you made, you can make some little firecrackers to go around. Again I'm going to use the wire, now if this is for a child's party I think I would not use the wire because it's not such a safe thing, but for an adult party this would be fine. And you cut a little firecracker sized piece of your rope and push the wire through the middle like that. So you have a half inch on the top and a half inch on the bottom. Then just take a tiny pinch of yellow fondant and that's going to be the little bit of flame on the top. You can poke that right into your cake around the border. And to finish off we'll add our fireworks and you can just poke them in and all around the cake, put your stars and your fireworks, oops. And here you have a spectacular festive fourth of July cake.
