Cake cover
An improved cake cover for protecting and securing a cake, or other food item. The cake cover is preferably comprised of a washable enclosure having a plurality of receptacles positioned thereon for receipt of a plurality of interchangeable inserts, thereby allowing the user to customize the appearance and function of the cake cover. The plurality of inserts may include, without limitation, a candle holding insert, a light emitting insert and a sound emitting insert. An outer surface of the cake cover may further comprise decorative texturing that mimics the appearance of a traditionally baked cake, and/or may be constructed of a transparent or translucent material to enable the cake stored therein to be viewed through the cake cover. Finally, the cake cover may further comprise a securing means for securing the cover to a surface.
Collapsible serving tray covering system
A food serving tray cover system that is removably attachable to various food serving trays to form an enclosure wherein the contents of the enclosure will be protected from pests such as birds and insects. The collapsible food serving tray cover system includes an elongated bracket having a U-shape and defining a channel therein that can removably secure a serving tray. A covering assembly including canvas-like material is attached at regular intervals to support ribs which are pivotally connected on the arms of the U-shaped bracket. The covering assembly is deployable such that the canvas material and support ribs move radially along the pivotal connection in a 180-degree manner to form an interior volume over an attached serving tray. A handle provides a gripping area that allows for selective closing and opening of the food serving tray cover system.

Atmospheric vegetable dish
An improved dish for displaying and storing vegetables at room temperature. A transparent dome component rests on a planar base. An opening in the apex of the dome components allows vegetable to be readily placed and removed from the dish. The opening is closed by a loose-fitting lid so that sufficient humidity is maintained to keep the stored vegetables from becoming flaccid. Yet sufficient air exchange is allowed by the edges of the lid to retard senescent and spoiling of the vegetables.

FOOD PRODUCT STORAGE AND SERVING ASSEMBLY
The disclosure relates to a butter dish that has at least two separate and independent compartments that are each individually capable of storing or serving a full stick of butter or other food product. The butter dish has two compartments and can hold a full stick of butter in each compartment or two sticks of butter in total. The compartments may include a rotatable lid or the compartment may be itself rotatable from the body of the device. An upper compartment comprises a rotatable lid and a bottom compartment is rotatable from the body of the device. The compartments may be located on opposite sides of the device and open from opposite ends. The device may further include one or more additional features such as an angled base to assist in ease of cutting and serving the butter as well as notches along the body for storing a butter knife.

Food substance heating and dispensing system
A dispensing system for heating and dispensing a food substance in a liquid state includes a portable dispensing unit including housing including a reservoir for holding a food substance, a heater operable to heat the substance to an operating temperature for producing a liquid, and a pump for dispensing the liquid via a dispensing tube and spray nozzle. A manually activated actuator operates to initiate the dispensing cycle. Control circuitry associated with the dispensing unit monitors the liquid temperature and controls operation of pump and unit. The dispensing unit may be powered by a rechargeable battery. A charging base provides a dock for recharging the battery of the dispensing unit. The pump may include an auto-reverse feature to draw the liquid back into reservoir when not dispensing the liquid for preventing clogs in the dispensing system.

Cake protection unit
An arched support strut dement that fits on top of a cake pan and which extends over the cake. The support strut element is located above the top rim of the pan and extends over the cake to support a flexible element, such as Saran@ Wrap, or the like, above the top surface of the cake. More specifically, the struts are adjustable so they can accommodate any width of pan and the hooks on the ends are memory-flexible so they can be bent to accommodate any edge shape for a pan.
