ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a wire cake rack for supporting either tubular or rectangular cakes while they cool. The wire cake rack can be either a round cake rack for supporting tubular cakes, e.g. Bundt cakes or a rectangular cake rack for supporting rectangular cakes, e.g. pound cakes. The round cake rack is made with sides in the shape of an open top cylinder that are manufactured integrally with a bottom that is concentric with the sides. The bottom has a greater diameter than the diameter of the sides. The bottom has handles on diametrically opposite edges of the bottom. The rectangular cake rack is made with sides in the shape of an open top rectangular box that are manufactured integrally with a bottom that is axially aligned with the sides. The bottom extends a predetermined distance beyond the sides. The bottom has handles on the two edges of the bottom that are longer than the other two edges of the bottom. The round wire cake racks can be stacked together because the round wire racks are made of slightly different diameters so that they can stack inside of each other. Similarly, the rectangular wire racks are made of slightly different axial dimensions so that they can stack inside of each other.
