CAN THIS BE USED TO LEVEL ROUND CAKES?

I had no trouble with it since I mostly make the round cakes. I do wait until it has sufficiently cooled before I slice into it which I did anyway before I got the Slicer. As always make sure the wire is level and you have a level surface to place your cake on and that it does not move then push or pull it slowly. I've done this on 3 cakes and the only time I had trouble was when I did not let it cool enough. Good luck

To be honest, I've only used it to split layers, but I don't see why not...as long as you don't rush it. Set the wire to the appropriate level and gently "walk" it across the top of the layer, should take off the set amount, leveling the top of the cake layer...(let us know how it works!)

Yes. That's pretty much all i make. Just make a gentle sawing motion. Quick and easy.

Yes it can and it works very well. I cook mostly round cakes and i use this every time to level and make consistent layers.

If you're really careful it could. But you have to make sure the wires attached to the handle are even, and you need to cross your fingers that your cake is just the right consistency to cut without coming apart. Personally, a cake turntable (try Fat Daddio's) and a good serrated cake knife would work better.

I have had mine for a while, but used it for the first time last weekend. It worked beautifully on round cakes. I let it cool completely, sliced off the crown and then sliced it into two thin layers for a multilayered cake. The wire slide through the cake like a hot knife through butter. No sawing motion necessary. Sliced four round cakes and had precisision matched layers. Extremely satisfied with performance.

No, there are not rounders. We do have beveled edging that give the mats a more finished look. I provide a link.eWonderWorld Beveled Side &/or Corner Edges for Interlocking Wonder Mats

The cake in the picture is a 9x13. That should give you a good idea. Will not fit a standard round cake.

WOW!!! thanks for responding to me. I want to make a cake for my granddaughter and want it to revolve which is why i need a revolving turntable. Your responce made me feel like I am in kindergarten (lol) but I am going to attempt it. Do you think it will be stong enough to allow a 10 inch layer cake, with frosting, to revolve. thanks for your time.

A small round cake will fit. It would be a good idea to have a paper board bottom of your cake

I actually used it on a cookie cake and they did put a thin layer of white icing under it. It is pretty thick so I think it would work fine with a darker icing as well.

I don't think so. I use 5x5 blocks about an inch thick, and I double them up, so there's enough depth for your bigger cakes -- but I don't think the area is enough

Yes, but of course you would need to hold it steady or secure the cake to the bottom with a little icing so it doesn't slide around.

Maybe, if it's a small batch. It won't hold a cake mix. The opening isn't very large, but I think a small whisk would fit. Remember it's plastic so. again. I'm not sure how it would hold up -- could crack.

If you want to slice the cake in half it would be a good option. But if you wanna level a cake that high i don't think this is a good choice. it has notches (3-4 total) that allows up to move up an inch to an inch and half from the counter. not too high.

A flat cake pan ala tiers = shave off the rounded center to flat. My guess is rim isn't wide enough for a pie edge. I'd experiment.

I don't think I'd use it for heavy cakes. It is fine for ordinary round layer cakes and sturdy enough that it doesn't tip, but the depth between the layers isn't enough for loaf cakes or fruit cakes in a loaf pan.

I haven't tried but I'm absolutely sure cake mixes would work. This pan is just like a cupcake pan which people use cake mixes in all the time. The only difference is this pan would create a donut shape.

Of course! Though, if the top tier is not being used there will still be a round connector notch in the top center of the 3rd tier. However, if using it for cupcakes, just place them all around, and no one would even notice. If an 8" cake is to be used on top, just remember the notch is there when cutting! :)

Yes, absolutely. Probably better for this purpose than for baking. And, my children used it to make stepping stones for my garden. Multi-purpose and you cannot beat the price!!

Yes! I would absolutely use it to make a cake! We've made brownies with it many times! I often use it for mug cakes when I'm in the mood for something sweet but don't want a whole cake in the house!

I don't think it would work. The top will "crown" (like a cupcake) -- which you would need to slice off even in order to turn it over and make use of decorating the molded shape. I've seen molded pans that are for "tea cakes" and those pans are deeper than these pans. It makes great cookies though!
