I recently bought one of these after years of slicing and levelling cakes by hand, I couldn't believe how easy it was to use and how perfect the layers came out! :) There is a knack to it, place the cake on a wide board, hold the cake with one hand and then push down on the cake leveller using a sawing action at the same time, it really is that easy so anyone claiming this tool is rubbish is doing something wrong! You wouldn't be able to use this on a fruit cake as the pieces of fruit would stop the blade but it's perfect for all sponge cakes, dense chocolate cakes, madeira's etc. I love it!
I was devastated when my cake leveller finally snapped after many years of use. This is the only way to cut through sponge cakes evenly and I would hate to be without it. Just about to order the replacement.
Like another reviewer said, I wouldn't use this on a fruit cake but it works like a treat on a sponge cake. Use a gentle sawing action as you start to pull the wire through the cake after which you will be able to pull the wire through quite easily. Apart from a few inevitable crumbs as the wire comes through the other side, it makes a very clean cut. A cutter adapted to fruit cakes would be brilliant! How about it Lakeland?
Thanks for placing your review. I've passed on the suggestion to the buyer.
Still fairly new to baking, I was surprised how easy the leveler was to use! It can be easily adjusted to suit requirements. I have only used it on a sponge cake, not sure if it would be strong enough for a fruit cake??
