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 the only condition this tool is ever used in.
• A thin stainless steel blade - it flexes enough to follow the side of a cake and springs back straight, so the edge you smooth with stays an edge.
• 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 governs the angle across a long pass rather than fighting the weight of the handle.
• Not only a cake tool - 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, exactly when a polished handle stops cooperating.
• 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.
