The layer is a simulated cake layer made of plastic foam material sold under the trademark "STYROFOAM", and supporting a music box thereon actuable to play music when the lid of the layer is lifted. The layer is coated with real or permanent icing or frosting used for the cake arrangement so as to resemble a real cake layer in the arrangment. An engraved plate containing information as to the event being celebrated with the cake arrangement is applied to the inside of the layer thereby providing a long lasting token of remembrance for the recipients of the cake layer. The cake-top box may later be removed as a piece of the cake which may be saved as a symbol of the occasion to be remembered and enjoyed for many years.Other References
