Product Information
Full details
This adjustable cake slicer from B&Q is designed for home bakers who want a clean and hygienic way to portion cakes and pies without touching them. Its primary benefit is effortless, mess-free slicing and serving. A minor consideration is its plastic construction, which may not be as durable as metal alternatives for heavy-duty use. Key features include adjustable sizing for various cake diameters, a no-touch design for hygiene, and child-safe, non-sharp blades.

Is it safe for children to use?
Yes, it is designed with no sharp blades, making it safe for children to use under adult supervision during the slicing and serving process.

Can I put it in the dishwasher?

How does the no-touch feature work?
The slicer cuts and lifts the cake portion within its ring, allowing you to serve it directly without touching the cake with your fingers.
Troubleshooting
Slicer does not cut through the cake cleanly.
Ensure the cake is at room temperature and not too cold or firm. Apply steady, even pressure when cutting. For very dense cakes, a gentle sawing motion might help.
Cake slice sticks to the slicer.
Lightly dampen the inner cutting edge of the slicer before use. Ensure the cake is fully set and not overly moist.
Uneven slices are being cut.
Make sure the adjustable mechanism is securely locked in place before cutting. Ensure the slicer is positioned centrally on the cake.
Difficulty adjusting the slicer size.
Ensure there are no crumbs or cake residue obstructing the adjustable mechanism. Clean thoroughly and try again.
