Ever wondered why your cakes never quite look like those in fancy bakeries? One secret is this cake leveler. During baking, cake layers tend to "crown," or rise up in the middle, and when frosted, they tend to look like a dome. The wires on this leveler can be adjusted in 1/4-inch increments to slice through the thinnest layer of cake, leaving each layer of your cake perfectly even. No more "filling in" the edges with frosting to make double-decker cakes appear level. Especially grand effects can be achieved with multilayer tortes--with square edges and seamless stacking, folks will think you shelled out the big bucks for such a fancy dessert. --Jill Lightner

This leveler worked great but only on cakes that have soft (not crusty) sides. Since the cutting "blade" is only a wire, cutting through anything too hard or crumbly is difficult. It would be nicer if instead of a wire it had a serrated blade. But if you do have a crusty cake, you can simply wrap the cake in plastic wrap and let it sit a day. This will soften the sides so that this leveler will still work. Also, keep in mind this leveler is only 10 inches wide and 2 inches high, so you may get into trouble with larger cakes. It works great for torting a cake and getting those really thin layers. It sure is a lot easier than using a knife!

It's a bit crazy how cheap this thing is considering how important it is! I couldn't live without it when making a cake. It cuts your cake layers perfectly even, quickly and easily. Such a simple product that is so essential. If you haven't bought anything besides your Wilton Student kit, I recommend this as the first thing on your list.
For those having trouble with the cake getting damaged, it's not the leveler, it's just how you're using it. It's not a serrated knife so it doesn't cut the same way.
Start by sawing slightly into the cake, then just BARELY saw back and forth with the cutting hand and slowly turn the cake through the leveler with your other hand. Cuts perfectly without damaging the cake a bit!

I purchased this item hoping that it would make leveling and torting round cakes easier. The "blade" (a simple wire) does nothing to work through a sturdier or crusty cake, and in the process of trying to get it to do so, the cake gets damaged. I had nothing but problems with this item, and had to use my trusty bread knife to repair the damage from the leveler! I am back to using my knife to level and torte my cakes, and feel stupid for wasting the money on this item. My recommendation: stick with the tried and true method. It works perfectly every time.

Can't use on frozen cakes
I like to trim my layers after freezing, but this is literally just a wire strung across the metal prongs, so it won't work for anything spongy or frozen. Read more

I'm new to cake decorating and thought that this product would help me, but I was so wrong. The cake leveler is just wire, so it just pushes the cake and makes it very uneven, so... Read more

Good buy for the price.
This cake leveler is kind of cheaply, but it has gotten me through needing cakes and tiered birthday cakes, so for the money I can say it has done everything I've wanted

I like the product. It's good at what it's meant to be used for, but I'm taking off a few stars because I received mine without one of the rubber grips. Read more

Not bad BUT not good EITHER....
I purchased this for $3 at Walmart. Wally has this stuff at the cake decorating/party supplies section. So, I thought I have nothing to lose except $3 even if it is a lemon. Read more

It works okay
It works. It's inexpensive, but you get what you pay for. Maybe it will get easier with more practice, but yeah. Difficult at first.
