Cook’s Country's Cake Lifters June/July 2011

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED WINNER Fat Daddio's Cake Lifter A little heavier than other models, this square-shaped cake lifter felt very sturdy for its small size, particularly when we moved a finished cake. Plus, it sported a comfortable offset handle. Its rounded edges let us see just enough of the edge of a cake layer as we stacked it, while still supporting the thin, delicate layers. The runner up RECOMMENDED Wilton Cake Lifter Its compact size works well for assembling a cake layer by layer, while its sturdy construction made it possible for us to move a decorated cake with ease. An ergonomic silicone handle gave us plenty of control with each task. Our only quibble was its square edges, which obstructed our view slightly when we lined up layers.
