Abstract
The invention relates to a cake-surrounded, self-standing device for applying, and a method for applying a decorative colorful rain of edible particles or sugars to the existing frosting, icing or prepared surface of same cake by launching small edible and delicate candy particles or sugars from a particle containing chamber within the cake by the use of a pressure controlled remote air pump, internal mechanical spring release piston, or pyrotechnic activated gas pressure piston in such a manner so as to control the height, direction and effect of the particles being released to a pre-determined height and returning back down onto and only onto the surface of the cake in a distinct and well defined pattern and in an entertaining and surprise fashion. Such an expelling device is known in the industry as a mine or a fountain.
