Abstract
A pedestal and cake platter removably supported thereon having a corresponding plurality of recesses and lugs which interengage after rotation of said platter through a half turn or less on said pedestal to maintain holes in the platter vertically aligned above outwardly open recesses in the column of the pedestal forming guides. A headed pin moved horizontally beneath the platter is engaged by a guide to align it vertically beneath one of the holes with its upper end slightly beneath the hole. The pin is movable upwardly through the hole to impale cake layers on the platter. The platter and a cake plate removably positioned thereon have recesses and projections interengageable to register holes in the plate with those in the platter to pass the pins upwardly.
