KitchenCraft Sweetly Does It Cake Slicer, Leveller, Layer Cutter Wire, Carbon Steel Baking Accessory, 4 cm, Silver

Good.

i have been looking for one of these items fore some time and i have to say that it does a great job for any soft cakes, it is not suitable IMO for any heavy biscuit or fruit cakes as the cutting is done by a piece of wire with ridges along it. good price for the item as the heavy duty one from wilton is alot more expensive and may be more suitable for heavy cakes, cant say for sure but seems much stronger for anybody needing to cut fruit cakes.i have found that the method that works for me is to place the cake on a piece of parchment paper the size of the cake and catching the handle move the cutter from side to side while keeping your elbow and the cutter feet on the table, like a windscreen wiper. the method i found helps me but each to their own off to purchase a second one! march 2011 and i have just purchased another 2 costing almost half the price of the original one reviewed above but this new one states that the wire is serrated and when opened it was plain with no groves and i found that it drags through the cake instead of cutting like the original.pity they had to change the design but hapefully i can purchase original groved wire from kitchencraft. e-mailed kitchencraft on two occasions but no reply. i binned the newer models as they destroy cakes in my opinion. i hope the older one last a little longer as i intend purchasine the heavy duty wilton one in the future, it looks like it will cut fruit cakes also. Ultimate Folding Cake Leveler-

This cake slicer does produce nice even cakes but it can be a bit fiddly to use. Starting the cake off is the hardest part, where it can take a huge piece out of your cake if you’re not careful. I found if you start it off really slowly and when you’ve made the first slice, hold the top of the cake while you move it back and forth. I found you had to hold the cake where the slicer is going to come out from otherwise you might risk losing another piece coming out of your cake. This is a bit of an issue as I didn’t really want my hand being sliced with the wire. You can change the setting on it to the height you need. It is a little tricky and I was worried I was going to hurt myself. The wire is so taut, it’s hard to get leverage on it safely to change the setting. There is a knack however! If you hold the cake slicer in front of you lengthways with the side you want to change the setting on against you.. hold the top with one hand and with your index finger and thumb, push the wire away from you. This takes it out of its notch and allows you to move it to the setting you need without fiddling near the wire. I did manage to get even cakes without any injuries. It is a little annoying to store as it’s quite bulky. You don’t want it somewhere there could be an accident so I’ve had to store it on top of the kitchen cupboards.

I purchased this a couple of months ago and as I’m a home baker who enjoys making celebration cakes I was nervous of using it going off the mixed reviews but today I was making an Easter cake for the house so I wasn’t too worried if it didn’t go right when I used it I can honestly say I shouldn’t of worried it was so easy to use with perfect results as long as you keep the feet in contact with the work bench at all times and move it side to side slowly you will get brilliant results I cut 4 layers in the time it would usually take me to cut 1 using a knife and it was perfectly straight and I know all layers are the same size I definitely won’t be using a knife again I would 100% recommend this product and as usual delivery was quick to

This product is getting a lot of unfair criticism, I expect that respectfully the negative users aren’t quite sure how to use , it is mentioned on the packaging though on a side note there ;) It’s an amazing addition and actually I’d go as far as to say it’s an essential addition! You don’t pull through the cake ! Oh no no no ! 😂 would you do that with a knife? Course not! Lol You gently move side to side in a sawing motion and the slightly serrated cheese wire moves effortlessly through the cake! Both of these cakes were made yesterday using it and I divided 2 deep cakes into 4 equal layers! So happy with this purchase! Thank you for making my life easier 🙏💕

This cuts through my cakes pretty well but the actual handle is pretty awkward to get a good grip of and use. I don't have terribly big hands but they aren't tiny either, however, I did find it pretty difficult to hold and cut my cakes. I think the handle needs an extra wee bar across, underneath the handle section so you can get a better grip to saw through the cakes. Or the handle needs to be much thicker to give a better grip to be able to cut through the cakes. It's a shame because it does cut the cakes well and very evenly, it's just a bit awkward and fiddly to get a good grip on the handle to use it. I think I might look at building something around the handle to give it a thicker grip, which would definitely help. It definitely cuts through the cakes really well. The handle design is just flawed, sadly.

I don't know why I struggled with a knife for so long!! I wish I'd bought this year's ago. I always dreaded leveling cakes because I just couldn't get it straight. Since getting this cake leveller, I've had no problems whatsoever. I've used it on a light genoise and on a denser chocolate cake and I get perfect results everytime. What works for me is holding the wire against the cake and then making small sawing motions back and forth, with the legs on the table to keep the level consistent. I take my time and I keep the cutting movements small and steady. This wire doesn't have 'teeth' like on a knife. I can only describe it as being wavy. It's a sturdy, well made product, but obviously with the wire being thin, a certain amount of care is needed. I definitely recommend this if you want an easier life!

Been using it for almost a year for my cake orders and i LOVE it! (I’m a teen home-baker)

No me lo esperaba para nada, pero me he llevado una grata sorpresa. Es enorme! sirve para tartas de 33cm. Es muy suave al cortar aunque a veces hay que insistirle un poquito. Como mejora: un poco más de tensión y un mango algo más cómodo de usar. Cumple su función a la perfección por eso! Creo que no encontrarás nada mejor en esta medida y por este precio.

Je me débrouillais toujours pour faire cuire plusieurs gâteaux et ne pas à avoir à les découper... Maintenant c'est fini, je gagne un temps fou et le résultat est parfait à chaque découpe. Prix raisonnable, semble de bonne qualité, bonne taille. Il suffit simplement de régler la hauteur du fil, et scier le gâteau en gardant bien les pieds de la trancheuse sur le plan de travail.

Da ich diesen Tortenschneider schon seit einiger Zeit benutze und einfach genial finde, hatte ich ihn nun noch einmal für eine Freundin bestellt. Die Qualität ist wirklich super. Am Schneidedraht befinden sich kleine Zähnchen - damit schneidet sich der Tortenboden wie Butter, die abgerundeten Plasikenden gleiten dabei über die Arbeitsplatte. Die Verstellbarkeit des Drahtes ist durch die Einkerbungen ganz einfach und es verrutscht nichts. Mein Schneider sieht trotz der vielen Benutzung immer noch aus wie neu - zum Schutz des Drahtes kommt er bei mir immer wieder in die Originalverpackung.

Arrivato ben imballato. Taglia benissimo il pan di spagna. Finalmente dei dischi perfetti. È facilmente regolabile.

Utile e resistente.. ben fatto.
