Abstract

An edible sideliner comprises a sheet of bakeable edible substrate formed into a continuous loop, the bakeable edible substrate having sufficient integrity to be freestanding when formed into a continuous loop so as to receive a bakeable substance within an area bounded by the continuous loop, the bakeable edible substrate being suitable to be baked onto a bakeable substance received within the area bounded by the continuous loop that is baked together with the bakeable edible substrate to formed a baked substance, wherein the bakeable edible substrate forms a baked-on sidewall of the baked substance after the bakeable substance is baked together with the bakeable edible substrate. The sideline may be an interlocking sideline form from a flat sheet of edible substrate.

Claims

1. An interlocking cake sideliner comprising:

a) a sheet of bakeable edible substrate having at least four sides, including a top edge, a bottom edge, a first end and a second end, the first end having a first interlocking member and said second end having a second interlocking member that is interlockable with said first interlocking member to form a continuous loop;

b) the bakeable edible substrate having sufficient integrity to be freestanding when formed into a continuous loop so as to receive a bakeable substance within an area bounded by the continuous loop;

c) the bakeable edible substrate being suitable to be baked onto a bakeable substance received within the area bounded by the continuous loop that is baked together with the bakeable edible substrate to formed a baked substance, wherein the bakeable edible substrate forms a sidewall of the baked substance after the bakeable substance is baked together with the bakeable edible substrate.

2. The interlocking cake sideliner of claim 1, wherein the flat sheet has a first interlocking member that is one of a male and a female member and the second end has a second interlocking member that is the other of a male and a female member and is interlockable with said first interlocking member.

3. The interlocking cake sideliner of claim 1, wherein the flat sheet has a thickness of about 1/20 inch to about ⅛

inch.

4. The interlocking cake sideliner of claim 1, wherein the flat sheet has a distinguishable scene printed thereon in bakeable edible print, which distinguishable scene is transferred to a side of the baked substance after the bakeable substance is baked together with the bakeable edible substrate.

5. The interlocking cake sideliner of claim 4, wherein the sideliner further includes an edible topping decoration that is complimentary to said distinguishable scene.

6. The interlocking cake sideliner of claim 1, further comprising a separate bakeable edible substrate bottom having a shape and size compatible with an open bottom created when the bakeable edible substrate is formed into a continuous loop.

7. The interlocking cake sideliner of claim 6, wherein the sheet of bakeable edible substrate and the bottom have interlocking features that are complimentary.

8. The interlocking cake sideliner of claim 1, wherein the bakeable edible substrate is an edible film wrap.

9. The interlocking cake sideline of claim 1, wherein the bakeable edible substrate is flavored.

10. The interlocking cake sideline of claim 1, wherein the bakeable edible substrate is non-flavored.

11. A method of making a cake product comprising:

a) providing a flat sheet of bakeable edible substrate being a sideliner including a top edge, a bottom edge, a first end and a second end;

b) joining said first and second ends to form a continuous loop and placing said sideliner on a bakeware device, the sideliner being capable of being filled while placed on the bakeware device;

c) pouring bakeable cake material into said sideliner on said bakeware device and baking said sideliner and said cake material together until the bakeable cake material is baked;

d) wherein the sideliner is baked onto the baked cake material.

12. The method of claim 11, wherein said first end has a first interlocking member and said second end has a second interlocking member that is interlockable with said first interlocking member to form the continuous loop.

13. The method of claim 11, wherein said flat sheet has a thickness of about 1/20 inch to about 1/16 inch.

14. The method of claim 11, wherein said flat sheet has a distinguishable scene printed thereon in bakeable edible print.

15. The method of claim 11, further providing a separate bottom formed from the flat sheet of bakeable edible substrate having a shape and size compatible with an open bottom created when said first and second ends are joined to form a continuous loop, said separate bottom being joined with said sideliner to form an edible baking cup.

16. An edible sideliner comprising:

a) a sheet of bakeable edible substrate formed into a continuous loop;

b) the bakeable edible substrate having sufficient integrity to be freestanding when formed into a continuous loop so as to receive a bakeable substance within an area bounded by the continuous loop;

c) the bakeable edible substrate being suitable to be baked onto a bakeable substance received within the area bounded by the continuous loop that is baked together with the bakeable edible substrate to formed a baked substance, wherein the bakeable edible substrate forms a baked-on sidewall of the baked substance after the bakeable substance is baked together with the bakeable edible substrate.

17. The cake sideliner of claim 16, wherein the sheet of bakeable edible substrate has a distinguishable scene printed thereon in bakeable edible print, which distinguishable scene is transferred to a side of the baked substance after the bakeable substance is baked together with the bakeable edible substrate.
