The Fig & Olive Adjustable Cake Cutting Wire is an essential tool for home bakers and professionals looking to achieve precise, bakery-quality results when slicing sponge cakes. By providing a stable, adjustable cutting mechanism, it ensures your cake layers are perfectly level and consistent every time, though users should be mindful that the wire requires a steady hand to maintain even pressure throughout the entire cut.

It is designed primarily for sponge cakes; avoid using it on cakes with hard inclusions like nuts or large, dense fruit pieces which may snag the wire.
While the frame is durable, hand-washing is recommended to keep the wire tension and the silver finish in optimal condition.
The wire width is 33cm, making it suitable for most standard round and square cakes up to that diameter or width.
The serrated design is meant to slice via motion rather than sharpness. It does not require manual sharpening.
This tool is specifically engineered for soft sponge cake; bread may be too dense and could damage or bend the wire.
Ensure the cake is fully cooled before slicing, as warm sponge is more likely to tear.
Check that the height settings on both sides of the frame are identical and apply even pressure while sliding the tool.
Ensure the tensioning clips are fully locked into the desired notches before you begin cutting.
Before using the tool for the first time, wash the wire and frame with warm soapy water and dry thoroughly to remove any manufacturing residue. To adjust the height, loosen the mechanism on the side arms and align the wire notches to your preferred thickness. After every use, clean the blade immediately to prevent sugar or cream buildup. Avoid using harsh abrasive scrubbers on the silver finish to maintain the tool's integrity. Always store the tool in a safe place where the tensioned wire cannot be bent or obstructed by other kitchen utensils.
