Benefits of technology

[0006]The preferred embodiment of the invention is a system for displaying a multi-tiered cake and is now described. A multi-tiered cake display system includes a main support, first and second bushings, and first and second cake boards. A first cake tier is assembled around the first bushing so that the first tier extends through that bushing. A second tier of the cake is assembled around the second bushing so that the second bushing is at least partially inserted into a second cake tier. When the multi-tiered cake display system is assembled, the bottom end of the main support is adjacent the first cake b...

Problems solved by technology

Rods not cut exactly the same length, especially in the bottom tier, can throw the entire structure out of level/off balance.
It can at times be difficult to determine how many pillars are required between each tier of a multi-tiered cake so that adjacent tiers are adequately supported.
Other negative aspects of using traditional pillars to support adjacent tiers of cake are that the indivi...

Embodiment Construction

[0018]FIG. 1 illustrates the preferred embodiment of a multi-tiered cake stand 100 assembled as a completed cake and stand assembly 10 on a table surface 101. The cake stand 100 includes a main support 102, bushings 104A, 104B, 104C, 104D, as well as support washers 106A, 106B, 106C that are placed between corresponding bushings and cake boards 108A, 108B, 108C, 108D. The cake stand 100 is illustrated showing four tiers of cake 110A, 110B, 110C, 110D, however the stand 100 may be configured to display two tiers of cake, three tiers of cake, or more than four tiers of cake.

[0019]There are many advantages to using the cake stand 100 illustrated in FIG. 1 over the prior art wooden pillar methods of placing pillars between adjacent tiers of cake. First, assembly of a cake using the cake stand 100 of FIG. 1 merely requires cake layers 110A, 110B, 110C, 110D to be prepared on corresponding cake boards 108A, 108B, 108C, 108D and around bushings 104A, 104B, 104C, 104D. Note that the bushing...

Abstract

A system and method for displaying a multi-tiered cake is presented. A multi-tiered cake display system includes a main support, first and second bushings, and first and second cake boards. A first layer of the multi-tiered cake is assembled around the first bushing and a second tier of the multi-tiered cake is assembled around the second bushing. When the multi-tiered cake display system is assembled, the bottom end of the main support is adjacent the first cake board. Additionally, when assembled, the first bushing is slidably inserted onto the main support with the bottom end of the first bushing adjacent the first cake board and the top end of the first bushing is adjacent the second cake board. Also the second cake board and the second bushing are at least partially slidably inserted onto the main support.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of Invention[0002]The current invention relates generally to apparatus, systems and methods for displaying cakes and other baked goods. More particularly, the apparatus, systems and methods relate to supporting a cake on a stand with a main support without requiring multiple supports between layers of cake. Specifically, the apparatus, systems and methods provide for displaying a wedding cake with the use of a bushing in one or more of the cake layers that allows the cake to be easily assembled for display.[0003]2. Description of Related Art[0004]Existing technology for displaying multi-tiered cakes (e.g., wedding cakes) has changed very little in the past 50 years or so. Traditional technology for displaying cakes makes use of multiple wooden dowel rods that are inserted into one tier of cake before another tier of cake is placed atop the previous layer. When adjacent layers of cake are to be elevated and separated from each other, pillars ...
