Abstract: A bakery food package for releasably and securely holding cakes, pies and other baked goods. The package includes a base for supporting the bakery goods and a cover secured to the base. The base has a plurality of circumferentially spaced second locking elements removably engaged with a plurality of first locking elements which are formed on the cover. The cover has a top wall, depending sidewalls and a generally outwardly projecting lower flange. In one preferred embodiment of the package, the second locking elements may be generally upwardly and inwardly rotated along a pivotal axis in order to permit portions of the first locking elements to pass therethrough and engage the same. Portions of the outwardly projecting lower skirt of the cover member extend downwardly to resist free relative sliding and rotating movement between the cover member and base. The base may be corrugated board and may be provided with an upper foil layer.
