  • Publication number: 20200239179
    Abstract: A cake packaging employs special locks that allow bakers and bakery customers to open and close the packaging without risk of damaging the cake inside, but the elements work together so the fully-erected structure hides the less-than-sleek geometry of the locking mechanisms even as these obscuring panels are tucked into one another to secure the panels and give the packaging strength.

  • Publication number: 20140363555
    Abstract: A cupcake tray has spikes, such as paperboard spikes, that extend into a cupcake cavity. The spikes prevent the cupcake from popping up and out of the insert when the cupcake box is jarred. The spikes easily fold down when the cupcake is inserted, but provide resistance in the upward direction when the cupcake box is jarred. The cupcake tray has creased panels disposed about its outer periphery to fold downward to support the cupcake tray in a cupcake box at a desired height. Each cupcake cavity in the cupcake tray has cutouts, typically semi-circular cutouts, for a user to insert their fingers to remove the cupcakes without damaging them.
