Abstract: An all-purpose reusable adjustable cake support capable of being easily and thoroughly cleaned. A shaft is inserted into a mated hollow tube to form an adjustable pole. The shaft has perpendicular fins in spaced relation along the length of the shaft. The fins form a series of parallel slots running transversely to the lengthwise axis of the shaft. Each fin has a groove such that the aligned grooves form a channel that runs the length of the shaft. A knob-like projection integral with the tube extends into the interior of the tube. The shaft is inserted into the tube to the desired depth by aligning the channel with the knob-like projection. To lock the shaft in place at a desired pole length, the shaft is rotated so that the groove and projection are misaligned, such that the fins catch on the projection.
