<p>A system for cooking and packaging bakery goods with minimum handling. Flat-folded, double-layer paperboard trays having spaced openings in the upper layer are erected and placed on a conveyor. A paper baking cup is inserted into each opening with its bottom resting on the lower layer of the tray, and a predetermined amount of batter is injected into each cup. The trays of batter-filled cups are transported to an oven for baking, removed from the oven, and inserted into protective delivery and display cartons for purchase by a consumer. The tops of individual baked goods in the trays may be iced, if desired, and all steps are readily automated.</p> |
