Abstract: A pedestal and cake platter removably supported thereon having a corresponding plurality of recesses and lugs which interengage after rotation of said platter through a half turn or less on said pedestal to maintain holes in the platter vertically aligned above outwardly open recesses in the column of the pedestal forming guides. A headed pin moved horizontally beneath the platter is engaged by a guide to align it vertically beneath one of the holes with its upper end slightly beneath the hole. The pin is movable upwardly through the hole to impale cake layers on the platter. The platter and a cake plate removably positioned thereon have recesses and projections interengageable to register holes in the plate with those in the platter to pass the pins upwardly.

Abstract: A receptacle has an end wall with an upper edge against which to crack eggs. The bottom of the receptacle extends beyond the end wall to form a shelf to catch egg drippings which fall outside of the receptacle. Side walls of the receptacle also extend beyond the end wall to form reinforcing gussets for the shelf. The opposite end wall is sloped and cooperates with the side walls to form an egg-delivery chute. A rib projects outwardly of the chute to pivotally engage the lip of a vessel to which eggs are delivered when the receptacle is tilted.
