For the Cakes

Cutting a 10-inch cake into level layers without a mountain of crumbs takes a long, sharp serrated blade. This Victorinox cake knife has rounded scallops that slice through airy sponge cakes and dense cheesecakes cleanly, and the 10-inch length reaches across the whole cake.The handle is from the line Victorinox sold as Rosewood for many years and now calls Victorinox Hardwood. It is modified maple stained in the traditional rosewood color.To split a layer, set the cake on a turntable, rest the blade at the height you want and turn the cake against it while sawing gently. Wipe the blade between cuts through buttercream.A chilled cake cuts more cleanly than one at room temperature.For a bowed bread and cake knife, see the Hardwood 10-inch Bread and Cake Knife. The Hardwood 12-inch Serrated Slicer has a longer serrated blade in wood. The table in the Details compares the slicers. Learn More
