Abstract: A circular cake tray and cover contains a cake mounted on a plate. The cake is prevented from sliding within the container by means of matching surface features on the tray and on the cake plate which mutually nest to lock the plate into place on top of the tray. The depth of the surface features is sufficient to prevent movement of the plate with respect to the tray even when the tray is tilted to a substantial angle, thereby reducing the likelihood that the cake plate would slide when the container is tilted and damage the cake by impact with the cover. The tray and cover are removably fastened together with a continuous outer flange on the circumference of the cover resiliently latched beneath a plurality of horizontal flanges which are disposed along the edge of the tray in such a manner that the cover may be easily latched or removed from the tray without regard to the rotational orientation of the cover with respect to the tray.
