Description

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

(1) FIG. 1 depicts a cake surfacing device according to the present invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

(2) The present invention relates to a cake surfacing device that provides a blade that is transferred over the surface of the cake to smooth the surface for an even texture. The surfacing device includes a base with a pedestal, wherein a turntable is provided at the top of the pedestal. During use a cake is placed on top of the pedestal and enclosed in a plastic container. Within the plastic container is a blade that extends from the top of the plastic container down one side of the plastic container that essentially travels over the surface of the cake, which is rotated on top of the turntable once within the plastic container. A swivel arm is provided that attaches to the top of the plastic container to allow for circular movement of the container and braces the container in a stable position, where the cake is rotated with the turntable.

(3) In reference to FIG. 1, a cake surfacing device according to present invention is depicted. This cake surfacing device includes a Base 12 with a Pedestal 10. On top of the Pedestal 10 is a Turntable 27, which is adapted to receive a Cake 40. A cross-sectional view is provided of a Plastic container 20 and a Cake 40. This cross-sectional view reveals a Blade 25 within the Plastic container 20 that extends from the top center of the Plastic container 20 along to one side of the Plastic container 20. Once the Cake 40 is placed on the Turntable 27 it may be rotated in order to smoothly surface the icing on top of the Cake 40. The turntable 27 and plastic container 20 may be fabricated in various sizes ranging from 2 inches to 12 inches.

(4) Other aspects of the surfacing device include a Swivel Arm 17 is placed into an Arm Support 15 that in turn is attached to the Pedestal 10. The Swivel Arm 17 includes a Connecting End 19 that connects to the top of the Plastic container 20. The Connecting End 19 includes a Connecting Pin 18 that goes into a Connecting Crown 21 provided at the top of the Plastic container 20. This enclosure therefore provides a support and stabilization in the Plastic container 20 and allows for the rotation of the Turntable 27. The Turntable 27 is adapted to support the cake and support the rotation of the cake within the Plastic container 20.

(5) The foregoing descriptions of specific embodiments of the present invention have been presented for purposes of illustration and description. They are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the invention to the precise forms disclosed, and obviously many modifications and variations are possible in light of the above teaching. The exemplary embodiment was chosen and described in order to best explain the principles of the invention and its practical application, to thereby enable others skilled in the art to best utilize the invention and various embodiments with various modifications as are suited to the particular use contemplated.
