BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a lollipop display stand. More specifically, the present invention provides a modular, customizable apparatus for securing and displaying lollipops in a desired manner.

Many people enjoy sweet desserts. One trend in desserts is the rise of “cake pops.” Cake pops are small portions of cake that may be mixed with icing as a binder and placed on a lollipop stick and covered with melted chocolate, or a similar substance. This allows for the consumer to eat the cake pop quickly and easily. Storing a food item, such as a cake pop, on a stick can be difficult and frustrating. This is due not only to the delicate nature of the edible component of the cake pop, but also due to the inherent structural instability of the cake pop itself. Specifically, the weight distribution of a cake pop favors the top end of the cake pop. This means that cake pops that are improperly stored and fall may cause damage to the edible portion of the cake pop. Damaged cake pops may result in a loss of sales as consumers are less likely to eat a damaged cake pop than an undamaged cake pop. Additionally, when preparing large numbers of cake pops, it can be difficult to support several cake pops after dipping in chocolate or candy melts to harden.

Many cake pop stands are bulky and take up a considerable amount of space on a countertop or in a storefront. Some stands may be displayed in a manner where they are unattractive or unaesthetic. This may be a significant inconvenience if an individual is displaying the cake pops for an event such as a party or a wedding. Ideally, a cake pop stand should be capable of being decorated and customized in order to match a desired design scheme or aesthetic.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

In view of the foregoing disadvantages inherent in the known types of lollipop, cake pop and popsicle display stands now present in the prior art, the present invention provides a dessert display stand wherein the same can be utilized for providing convenience for the user when displaying specific types of desserts.

The present system comprises a plurality of panels. Each panel of the plurality of panels comprises a first side opposite a second side. The first side comprises a male interface, the second side comprises a female interface. The male interface is configured to engage the female interface of an adjoining panel of the plurality of panels. At least one channel is disposed on each panel between the first side and the second side of each panel of the plurality of panels. Each channel is dimensioned to receive a stick from a dessert therethrough.
