Stainless Steel Cake Smoothing Knife with Non-Slip Plastic Handle

You spread the buttercream with the back of a spoon, and every pass leaves a ridge exactly where the spoon lifted off.

What Are the Key Features of This Non-Slip Cake Flattening Knife?

• A non-slip handle: the grip holds once your fingers are in buttercream, which is how this tool is always used.
• A thin stainless steel blade: it flexes enough to follow the side of a cake and springs back straight, so the edge stays straight.
• Plastic where your hand goes: it does not carry heat out of a hot wash into your palm, and it keeps the mass of the tool forward in the blade.
• 100 g total: light enough that your wrist sets the angle across a long pass without fighting the handle's weight.
• A tool for more than cake: the same flat blade lifts a fried egg clear of the pan, spreads a sandwich filling to the crust and slides under a cut slice to serve it.

Where Can You Use This Cake Flattening Knife?

• Levelling the top of a cake the night before a birthday
• Spreading frosting or ganache down the side of a cake
• A small bakery turning out a dozen a day
• Sliding under a cut slice to serve it
• Lifting a fried egg clear of the pan, or spreading a sandwich filling out to the crust

Why Does a Cake Knife Need a Non-Slip Handle Instead of a Polished One?

• A non-slip grip: buttercream is fat, and it is on your fingers within a minute, which is when a polished handle gets slippery.
• Steel blade, plastic handle: steel is thin enough to hold a straight line down its length, and plastic keeps hot washing-up water out of your palm.
