This adjustable cake slicer levels a domed sponge and splits it into even layers by pulling a taut wire through the cake at a height you choose. Home bakers use it before filling a layer cake, when a knife tends to leave a slanted cut. It is part of our Kitchen Essentials collection.
Key features
-
Set the height in steps – the wire clips into notches 5 mm apart on both legs, up to 10.5 cm above the board
-
Level cuts – the frame rides flat on the board, so the wire stays parallel through the whole cake
-
Two wires, three layers – the double wire version splits one sponge into three layers in one pass
-
Wide frame – 32 cm across, with an 8.5 cm grip on top for one hand
-
Stainless steel – 304 stainless steel cutting wire on a stainless steel frame, with plastic feet

Frequently asked questions
How do I set the cutting height on the cake slicer?
Slide each wire end along the notched legs of the cake slicer and clip it into the same notch on both sides; the notches sit 5 mm apart, so the wire stays level across the cake.
What is the difference between the single wire and double wire cake slicer?
The single wire cake slicer cuts one layer per pass, while the double wire version holds two wires and can split a sponge into three layers in one pull.
How wide a cake can the wire slicer cut?
The wire cake slicer frame is 32 cm (12.6 in) wide, so it spans round cakes a little narrower than that; the wire sits up to 10.5 cm (4.1 in) above the board.
What is the cake slicer wire made of?
The cutting wire of this cake slicer is 304 stainless steel, held taut between the two legs of a stainless steel frame.
