Claim:
A device for decorating a cake comprising a platform having a surface for supporting a cake; a removable cartridge for containing edible particles; a holding chamber for receiving the removable cartridge storing the edible particles; an air chamber beneath the holding chamber, the air chamber being centrally disposed in said platform for receiving said holding chamber and for exerting a controlled amount of air pressure on said edible particles in said holding chamber and into the cartridge; an air transport tube in the platform, the air tube in fluid communication with the air chamber at one end and in fluid communication with a exterior peripheral surface of the platform at an opposite end; and a particle release mechanism in communication with the holding chamber wherein said air chamber exerts said controlled amount of air pressure on said edible particles to cause said edible particles to exit from said holding chamber in a controlled and limited distance, via an exhaust port of said cartridge, said exhaust port configured to disperse the edible particles as a fountain into space above the cake, reaching a pre-determined zenith point where said edible particles then return downward onto said cake.
