Abstract
A transparent plastic or glass cover for covering a cake. The top of the cover has indentations for receiving the bottom end of small candles and supporting them vertically in place. The indentations may be configured in any desired arrangement, such as concentric circles in a circular cover for covering a circular cake, or a rectangular grid in a rectangular cover for covering a rectangular cake. The cover protects the cake from dripping candle wax and also from airborne particles landing on it, such as a spray or aerosol of saliva droplets when blowing out burning candles. The cover is then removed from the cake before the cake is sliced and served. The cover prevents germs and other contaminants from landing on the cake before it is served.
