       21 . A transport device comprising; 
 an actuator;    a body coupled to the actuator having an abutment surface; and    a plurality of arms coupled to the actuator that selectively extend from and retract into the body, extension of the arms from the body providing for grasping of an item between the arms and the abutment surface.    
   
   
       22 . The transport of  claim 21 , wherein the arms are sized and shaped to enter a void in the item.  
   
   
       23 . The transport of  claim 21 , wherein the arms are flexible such that the arms expand as the arms extend from the body and the arms contract as the arms retract into the body.  
   
   
       24 . The transport of  claim 23 , wherein the expansion and contraction of the arms is governed by walls of an internal aperture of the body.  
   
   
       25 . The transport of  claim 21 , wherein the actuator is a pneumatic cylinder.  
   
   
       26 . The transport of  claim 21 , wherein the arms are springs.  
   
   
       27 . The transport of  claim 26 , wherein the springs have a spring constant to allow the carrying of a baked good while substantially maintaining the shape and integrity of the baked good.
