Does the curved edge of the base make it at all difficult to cut/serve a layer cake?

No, and the curved edge keeps icing, glazes, etc. from running over the edge.

I don't think so. But maybe to you it will. I love this. Although it's a little heavy. But I think that's good cause you'll know it will be durable. I hope you buy it & enjoy it as much as I do :)

No problem with the nut cake last Christmas. If the diameter of your cake exceeds the flat part of the base, that may create some difficulty.

Hi Chris. I find that it's not that difficult because you're able to slide the spatula right under a cake slice. Hope this answers your question.

I think if you were to try to cut baiked shortbread, it would do nothing but crumble. I've never used it on anything other than an already baked cake, but anything hard ... You only would know if you try.

not really. The edge is straight and thedrier is curved. I've forced it on about half way.

I have put 5 tier wedding cakes on it no problem but the top has grooves in it that makes it a pain if your trying to soo nth buttercream My staff hates it because of those darn grooves so they don't use it

I put it on a cookie sheet. The base is glass so it has some structure to it but I wouldn't handle it with out the cookie sheet until the cake is cooked and cooled.

I bought this as a gift for my Friend. However, I do not have experience baking in this cake pan. My Friend says her cakes come out fine. If it were me, I would probably still cut out a piece of parchment paper the size of the bottom. In the old days with regular aluminum cake pans, people would cut a piece of wax paper and put it at the bottom. So, I don't know what else to tell you other than perhaps go back to the greasing pan and then flour method. I wouldn't grease it heavy though. I wish I could be more helpful.

It is very easy to place, i put mine in the freezer for a minute or two and this made it even better and it cuts smoothly when you are cutting the cake but when placing it is very durable. Great purchase in my opinion! It was a huge hit at my sons 9th birthday party in March. Hope this helps

Oh ok no, it is so flexible for any curve, but no shape corners. It's easy to remove to clean, too. Still love it!

I bought this knife specifically to slice cakes into layers. It's very sharp and will cut through your cake layers with very little effort. The fourteen inch blade lets me slice a cake up to twelve inches in diameter in one pass. The ten inch blade will slice through a cake up to nine inches in one pass with ease.

The rotation speed is fairly low and you will need to experiment with various blades. The standard blade does chip the edge. There is a finer circular blade but I have not used it yet. The cuts I make have not needed a perfectly chip-frre cut, and I just round the edge with sand paper. I have used it against a straight edge. You have to watch it through, because it will wonder away from the ruler it you do not put the appropriate pressure. Positioning the edge (I use a long level) requires some inventiveness.

It's not sharp but it's not super thick or dull at the edges. I'm not sure if you'd be able to cut a wedding cake perfectly with it. Maybe you can get it sharpened... I don't know. Awesome idea by the way

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.

It's 10" in diameter and I've had a 3 layer cake on it. If you have the tallest cake holder, you'll need to be sure it's screwed in securely and the cake it balanced on it. When you cut the cake, you'll have to be very careful and have someone hold the cake holder to make sure it doesn't tip over. The presentation is beautiful.

Depending on how thick the batter is it can be tough, it also depends on how well you can hold it up in the air also. The regular cake batter was fine and not alot of pressure, it dispenses nice and clean.

Slight curve up on edges, like most cake platters to keep cake from sliding off. But is much larger than a regular cake platter. Worked great for me!

Not really, the edges are smooth in order that you do not cut your hands while you mold you creations on the plate. Why not just buy cookie cutters? Ateco 5357 11 Piece Plain Round Cutter Set

I have never cooked a cake , other than cheesecake, but I don't know why you couldn't. I would be careful about cutting the cake though on the bottom as it would scratch easily I would think. Also since have never cooked a regular cake, I don't know if the top springform would release ok-but one of the folks that answered you said that it would.
