ABSTRACT:
A bakery food package for releasably and securely holding cakes, pies and other baked goods. The package includes a base for supporting the bakery goods and a cover secured to the base. The base has a plurality of circumferentially spaced second locking elements removably engaged with a plurality of first locking elements which are formed on the cover. The cover has a top wall, depending sidewalls and a generally outwardly projecting lower flange. In one preferred embodiment of the package, the second locking element may be generally upwardly and inwardly rotated along a pivotal axis in order to permit portions of the first locking elements to pass therethrough and engage the same. Portions of the outwardly projecting lower skirt of the cover member extend downwardly to resist free relative sliding and rotating movement between the cover member and base. The base may be corrugated board and may be provided with an upper foil layer. The base may serve as both a portion of the container and as a cake plate for use in serving or decorating the cake or other baked goods. In another preferred embodiment of the invention, the second locking elements include two hinges or pivotal axes about which portions of the second locking elements rotate. The inclusion of two hinges or pivotal axes facilitates easy and more secure relative locking between the cover and base. In a preferred form the hinges operate sequentially.
