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 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. :-)

    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?

    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.
