Product Description

Amazon.com

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

Product Description

This fantastic tool is a must for every cake decorator, whether you are a novice or master! This leveler will cut smooth, even layers in cakes up to 10" wide and 2" high. Adjust height of blade by moving the blade from one notch to another. Construction: aluminum handle, steel blade, plastic feet, and locking blade leveler and protective sleeve for blade.

4.0 out of 5 stars great for leveling soft sided cakes February 2, 2001
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!

4.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic! February 29, 2012
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.

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

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.
