Abstract
A hinged panel assembly includes a first panel that is selectively positioned against a first exposed surface of a cake when the cake has been cut. The first panel is comprised of a fluid impermeable material to inhibit air from contacting the first exposed surface thereby enhancing freshness of the cake. A second panel is hingedly coupled to the first panel such that the second panel is selectively positioned at a selected angle with respect to the first panel. The second panel is selectively positioned against a second exposed surface of a cake when the cake has been cut. The second panel is comprised of a fluid impermeable material to inhibit air from contacting the second exposed surface thereby enhancing freshness of the cake.
Claims4
A hinged panel assembly being configured to be placed against cut sides of a cake thereby retaining freshness of the cake, said assembly comprising:
- a first panel being configured to be positioned against a first exposed surface of a cake when the cake has been cut, said first panel being comprised of a fluid impermeable material wherein said first panel is configured to inhibit air from contacting the first exposed surface thereby enhancing freshness of the cake, said first panel having a first surface, a second surface and a peripheral edge extending therebetween, said peripheral edge having a first lateral side, a second lateral side and a bottom side, said first panel being elongated between said first lateral side and said second lateral side, said first surface being configured to abut the first exposed surface of the cake, said second surface having indicia being printed thereon, said indicia comprising words;
- a first lip being coupled to and extending away from said first panel wherein said first lip is configured to be positioned beneath the cake, said first lip being positioned on said first surface of said first panel, said first lip being coextensive with said bottom side of said first panel, said first lip having a uniform width along a length of said first lip wherein a distal edge of said first lip is parallel to said bottom side of said first panel;
- and
- a second panel being hingedly coupled to said first panel such that said second panel is selectively positioned at a selected angle with respect to said first panel, said second panel being configured to be positioned against a second exposed surface of a cake when the cake has been cut, said second panel being comprised of a fluid impermeable material wherein said second panel is configured to inhibit air from contacting the second exposed surface thereby enhancing freshness of the cake.
