"Excellent" star star star star star It is a fact that any piece of equipment is only as good as the person (or persons) using it. Taking time and working round the circumference towards the middle this wire produces perfect results.
"Cake slicer" star star star star star Great item and very easy to use. Took a few times just to get the hang of it but finding it great now.
"Phew!" star star star star star Having read the very mixed reviews I was a little unsure what to expect! But I am so pleased that I bought the slicer, following advice to work slowly and with a sawing motion, working around the perimeter of my cake I found it was perfect for both levelling the top and cutting cake into two layers to sandwich together. I struggled using a knife and as I am on a steep learning curve to make a three tier cake for my son’s wedding in August, I am so relieved that I can now make the tiers level. My cakes are made using quite a solid madeira mix but the slicer managed to cut these successfully.
"Excellent" star star star star star I read some reviews about this and was in two minds about purchasing. I went ahead and I'm glad I did. You need to handle it with care and take it slowly and you'll achieve excellent results.
"Ever so clever!" star star star star star I almost did not buy this, based on reviews, but I am so glad I did. When I opened it up ready to use, I was glad to see the notches to ensure the slice would be level, and not move when in use. You have to be patient, careful and take your time (as you would doing it any other way), but in the end, it makes a perfect slice through the cake, without destroying the sponge or taking chunks away with it. Such a simple idea, but gives great results every time.
