  • Patent number: 6184510
    Abstract: A cakeboard useful for direct transfer of a cake from the oven, for finishing and serving, without the need for a cooling rack. The cakeboard can have a first layer of corrugated cardboard and a second layer of PET. The first layer can have its top liner perforated with microperforations to permit venting of heat and moisture, thus allowing cakes to be turned from the oven directly onto the cakeboard to cool before finishing and serving, thereby removing the need for turning cakes onto separate cooling racks before transferring them to the cakeboard, thereby reducing handling. The microperforations can be added after the layers are affixed to each other such that the microperforations pierce the top second layer and the top liner of the first layer. The first and second layers can be comprised of other materials; and, other layers may be present.
