Problems solved by technology

Traditional apparatuses used to hold a comestible in aesthetically pleasing manner would simply support the comestible from the bottom, and, thus, would be severely limited in the angles and positions that the comestible could be displayed in.
These traditional apparatuses would also position multiple comestibles relatively close together without any appreciation for the aesthetic appeal of spatial distribution.
Traditional apparatuses does not provide a user with the opportunity to be creative with the arrangement of their comestibles, and, rather, force a preformed arrangement that is created by either the designer or the manufacturer.

Abstract

A holding assembly for aesthetically displaying comestibles comprises a retaining structure and a positioning member. The retaining structure allows the user to firmly secure a comestible to the holding assembly. The retaining structure has two different embodiments: one embodiment for softer comestibles with a flat bottom, such as a cupcake, and another embodiment for more rigid comestibles with a round exterior, such as fruit. The first embodiment of the retaining structure is a platform with tines, and the second embodiment of the retaining structure is a hollow hemisphere with one tine. The positioning member is a long shaft that allows the user to position the comestible in a desired location. The top end of the positioning member is used to attached to the bottom of the retaining structure, and the bottom end of the positioning member is used to penetrate into a base in order to situate the holding assembly.
