Abstract
A transparent plastic cover for cakes has a horizontal top and vertical sides. The top has indentations for holding candles vertically. The indentations are arranged in the form of two side-by-side rectangles with a central horizontal bar. When all the indentations are filled with candles, the number "88" is indicated. By selective filling of the indentations one can indicate any number between one and ninety-nine. The combined cake cover and candle holder permits decorating the cake with lighted candles representing a numerical celebration of a birthday, anniversary etc. The cake is protected from the candles and from the saliva from blowing out the candles.
