American Anthem (RA57218) by Raccoon Fireworks is a patriotic, 9-shot, 500-gram aerial cake built around huge red, white, and blue ghost effects. Its XL 3-inch-style configuration delivers nine deliberate shots over approximately 30 seconds, allowing each specialty break to command the sky before the next shell launches.
Unlike conventional peonies that display their colors simultaneously, ghost effects create the appearance of color traveling or changing across the expanding break. American Anthem uses this distinctive pattern to showcase the colors of the American flag in an impressive specialty-effect performance.

American Anthem launches nine powerful aerial shots at a deliberate pace. Each shell climbs vertically before opening into a large ghost-style break featuring red, white, and blue.
The specialty stars create the illusion of movement as the colors travel through different portions of the expanding break. This produces a more complex aerial presentation than an ordinary three-color peony, with each burst appearing to transform as it spreads across the sky.
The measured firing sequence gives every break room to reach full size, display its moving color pattern, and fade before the next shell takes over.
The ghost effect is the centerpiece of American Anthem. Carefully timed stars illuminate different areas of the break in sequence, causing bands or sections of color to appear as though they are moving through the aerial pattern.
Red, white, and blue create an unmistakably patriotic palette, making this cake especially appropriate for Independence Day, military tributes, and other American-themed celebrations.
American Anthem concentrates its 500-gram capacity into nine substantial shots. The lower shot count allows the product to emphasize individual break size and specialty-effect quality instead of rapid-fire volume.
Each launch produces a distinct aerial moment, making the performance easy to appreciate from beginning to end.
The nine shells are paced across approximately 30 seconds rather than being fired in a short volley. This measured tempo prevents the large ghost breaks from covering one another and gives their moving colors enough time to remain visible.
The result is a clean, focused display that places attention on every individual shell.
American Anthem uses a straight-firing arrangement that sends each shell directly overhead. Its substantial base and individual-tube design give it the appearance and performance style of an XL nine-shot finale cake.
Because all nine shots remain centered, the cake works well as a patriotic focal point within a larger display or as an impressive standalone feature.
From its red, white, and blue package design to its matching aerial colors, American Anthem maintains a consistent patriotic theme. The cake’s artwork features American imagery, stars and stripes, and animated Raccoon Fireworks characters dressed for the celebration.
