How To Achieve Perfectly Sliced Cake Layers

• Lynsey Macdonald

We love finding products to help make your cake decorating journey easier than ever! Something you'll likely start creating along the way are multi-layered cakes. And this novel little gadget allows you to achieve perfectly sliced cake layers!

The Adjustable Cake Slice Ring by Simply Making is an innovative tool, helping you cut different depth layers with ease. Whether you are making a cake for an afternoon tea, birthday celebration or wedding, we always recommend using a firm textured cake to achieve a professional finish.

Pro tip: for this type of cake we used Sattina golden delight Madeira cake mix. It has a firm but moist texture which does not crumble. We love this customer feedback...

“This cake mix is absolutely amazing! So light and airy with such a wonderful fresh taste.”

Achieving Perfectly Sliced Cake Layers

  1. Place the cake slicer over the cake.
  2. Adjust by pulling the two handles towards each other so that it fits tightly around the cake.
  3. For larger cakes, you will have to slice the cake twice, turning the cake slicer around. We found that a handy tip is to mark across the middle of the cake lightly with a knife or cocktail stick. This way, you know exactly where you have already sliced when you turn the slicer around.
  4. Decide how deep you want to slice the cake then, with a long sharp knife, cut through one half of the cake to the middle following the mark you made across the top.
  5. Release the cake slicer, turn to the other side of the cake and pull in tight again. Make sure you insert the knife and cut at the same depth, slicing through the remaining half of the cake to the middle, following the mark you made on top. Always have the cake facing you when slicing!
  6. Release the cake slicer so that you now have two neat layers ready to assemble and fill with your favourite filling. The cake slicer is perfect for creating a simple two layered sponge, or you can achieve taller cakes with multi layers.

It’s as simple as that! A truly transformational tool, to help you achieve consistent results. We hope this post has inspired you to try a multi-layered cake if you haven’t before – with the Adjustable Cake Slice Ring it’s easy!
