Delivery apparatus and assemblies are shown and described. In one embodiment, a delivery apparatus includes a base, a container removable about a central tube, and a release mechanism. The release mechanism may engage an extension plunger to release the container from an isolated position substantially parallel with a food item to an adjacent display position. The result is an improved hidden display and assembly for enhancing efficient, effective delivery of a hidden item inside a food item(s) or the like.

Described is a method of forming a biodegradable and/or edible tableware that has a three dimensional shape in a two-step cooking process by first partially cooking a dough, that contains at least a flour and gelling agent, in a mould (subject to pressure and heat) and then baking the moulded tableware. The dough may include a sugar, and if present, is present at a ratio of the gelling agent to the sugar from 0.8:1 to 1:0.8. The dough may include a vegetable oil as the gelling agent and if the gelling agent is a vegetable oil, the dough includes the addition of water.
