How to Level and Torte a Cake from Wilton
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Watch Emily Tatek from the Wilton Test Kitchen, level and tort a cake using a cake leveler or a knife in this video. If you're making a layered cake with a cake that isn't flat, you'll find that the cake layer can crack or break. Many cake bakers level their cakes before stacking the layers. Leveling, also known as "crowning", means cutting the dome or mound off the cake layer with a knife or cake leveler. To cut one cake into two or more layers, often called "torting", use a cake leveler or knife to cut multiple even layers. Once you know how to level and tort your cake, you can stack the cake layers with icing, fruit, pudding or other fillings between to add flavor and height to your cake.

I just LOOOOOVE simple, straight forward demonstrations. Just tell me WHAT TO DO...and SHOW ME how it's done. That's what I need and this video does exactly that. Thanx so much for this. :-)
I never knew these existed. When I was a kid (back in the 60's) I would help my grandmother make cakes. She cooked the two layers separately, then put one layer flat side down, added frosting to the top, the placed the second layer on top, flat side up/crown side down, then frosted/decorated. She'd probably laugh at using a leveler if she even had heard of one back then! I think I want one, though. :-)

These type of videos really simplify the baking and decorating process. I'm gonna be a MONSTER/MASTER baker in no time...omg. :-)
I just ordered a 360 piece baking tool set off Amazon which includes a leveler. Should be here by Monday. MAN !! I'm so excited. I'm about to be a CAKE MAKING maniac. LOL
Excellent tips!!!
I just got this for my birthday yesterday & I absolutely love it!!!! It's so much easier & you don't have to worry about accidentally cutting off the top unevenly forcing you to have to cut off more of your cake to even it. This tool is now one of my favorite kitchen tools. P.S.: Do you have any videos on your ultra turntable & how to store your cakes once you've decorated it using buttercream icing & others?

Watch it carefully and make sure the cake pan bakes it evenly (ie aluminum or non stick)

Spring pans with parchment paper! That gives you straight sides.
Is the wire serrated and should the cake be warm or cold when you use a cake leveller?
@deborahtiedemann247

The cake should be cold. If you do it warm it'll be more messy.
Thank you for the video. I have a cake leveler, but when I try to cut through the cake, it's not smooth like in the video. Any ideas why?

Mine is the same. Maybe it cuts through easier if the cake is warm?
I need to do this with a whole Watermelon, would it work? I guess as long as the leveler is high enough.

I was about to say the exact same thing. But, AMAZON has em all day, though... for bout $8.00. Problem solved.
Moreover, could use a thin thread to slice the cake! I find it is easy for me I do that because I dont have a cake slicer.

I purchased this and tried it on a frozen cake. it was really hard to use. Is this only for cakes that are not frozen. I might be returning this.

Lisa Baray it won't work with frozen cakes because it's not a knife, it's simply a wire. I highly recommend trying it out on a non-frozen, it works spectacularly

Cutting a cake perfectly flat and level freehand using a serrated knife is like a superpower. I've got as much chance as having x-ray vision. Seriously.....how do people even do that?

Common sense would say not to use a hard-ass cake when your going to cut it with a thin wire. If its frozen, use a sharp knife.

Use a cake sleeve! No domes.
Dental floss pull out string larger than the cake get your face level place the string hold one end on each side of cake from behind and pull string toward you and you have a cut level cake.

Crazy russian hacker thinks a leveler is a cake slicer
She hacked up that cake with the knife.. Jeez
Need to slow down the video & I wish I could see what she is doing from her perspective instead of having the camera opposite her aimed from my perspective.
