The invention is a pop-up device adapted to allow for a number of triggering means and a number of special effects upon triggering of the device. The pop-up device may be placed in a hollow section of a cake, which is later iced over so that the candle holder is not visible. In the preferred embodiment, the base of the device supports the pop-up mechanism within a housing. The device is held in a compressed state by a release mechanism. Upon triggering of the release mechanism, the device is released and pushed through the cake or other confection, thereby providing surprise and entertainment. In alternative embodiments, the device is actuated by a drive mechanism or a fuse.

1. A pop-up device for use in a decoration comprising:a base; a rod, having a first end and a second end, adapted for attachment to said base so that when said first end of said rod is secured to said base, said rod is substantially perpendicular to said base; a spring, having a top and a bottom, capable of being threaded onto said rod so that said bottom of said spring rests on said base; a release mechanism attached to said base; a trigger in communication with said release mechanism; a mounting sleeve, having an opening, a central hollow area, a top and a bottom, adapted for positioning around said rod so that said rod is threaded through said opening and said central hollow area so that said bottom of said mounting sleeve rests against said spring at the first end of the rod with said mounting sleeve being held in place by said release mechanism so that when said trigger is actuated said release mechanism moves, thereby allowing said spring to decompress and force said mounting sleeve to travel upward toward said second end of said rod; and a figurine, having a central hollow area, a top and a bottom, with said bottom of said figurine adapted for attachment to said top of said mounting sleeve.
