Kaiser Bakeware Patisserie One Wire Layered Cake Cutter Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I made two multi-layer cakes for two different dinner parties this week and received many compliments on the beauty of the cakes, especially the evenness of the layers. I explained to all that it was the result of this magnificent layer cake cutter with serrated wire. I decided today to send out a link to others to purchase it and Amazon seemed to be the best. I just read the reviews, however, and I am mystified at the range of responses. This cutter is absolutely perfect for me, so I can only conclude that those who have written poor reviews may not have used it as effectively as I have.
I will share with you my technique which works every time. Very simply, you must place your cake on a large flat surface to give you enough room to work the 15" cutter and use a gentle, slow sawing motion (back and forth)to cut the cake. Depending on the cake, it may take a moment or two to cut through the outer crust. Be patient. Once you cut through continue sawing gently through the cake. I have cut layers as thin as 1/4" - the easiest Dobos torte I have ever made! I have used this cutter to slice butter cakes, genoise cakes and tortes made with either bread crumbs or finely ground nuts, such as walnut, almond and hazelnut. I have not used it on chiffon cakes, flourless cakes nor bundt cakes, so I offer no opinion there.
If this wonderful cutter is not working for you it is probably not the cutter but rather ineffective technique in its use: 1)not using a gentle, slow sawing motion; 2) pushing the wire through the cake rather than sawing; 3) rushing the cutting; or 4) not having a wide flat surface upon which to work.

Cake Slicer/Leveler Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I needed one. Amazon had one. There isn't much to say about a cake slicer except that it works. If you can't slice layers evenly by eye, this tool is for you.

Wilton 301-910 Romantic Castle Cake Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)About a month ago, my daughter said she'd like Daddy to make her a castle cake for her third birthday. I found this kit online, and thought it looked easy enough. How hard could a "kit cake" be to make?
Once I got into this project, I quickly realized that to make this cake "right", it would be no quick endeavor! We planned ahead. Two days before the party, we started baking cakes and making flowers (easy enough to do that the soon to be birthday girl even helped--fun like Playdo). We froze the cakes.
The day before the party, I iced the (still frozen) cakes and put the glitter on all of the areas it needed to be on (roof-tops, around windows, etc...) For a dad, this is doable, but certainly not easy (I was up until 3 am working on this--of course, I didn't start until very late as I returned home from work late).
The party was in the evening, so I had time the day of to assemble and finish the cake. First, I did rolled fondant on the top only of the base cake, and on the entire second (smaller) cake. Instead of using "melted candy" as the instructions suggest, I used a glue gun to attach some sticks to the towers to help keep them upright. The glue stuck fine, but the wieght of the roof-tops made a couple of the towers unstable at times. After putting on the towers, I used Valentine's day M&M's (red, pink, and White) as "rocks" for the walls of the base cake.
This cake is no easy project for a dad with limited cake baking know-how, and it is also very time consuming to make it right. When my newly-turned 3 year old little princess put her arms around me and said, "Dad, I'm really proud of you. You did a good job on my castle cake." it was ALL WORTH IT!

Wilton 16-Inch Cake Circle, 6-Pack Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I use three of these stuck together and covered with wrapping paper to create a base for diaper cakes I make for baby showers. They are sturdy and easy to use. The thicker single bases are also good, but these are less expensive.
