Plastic Cake Knives 

After so much time spent decorating a cake, it would be a shame to obliterate the icing just when you’re about to present it to your hungry guests. Whether you’re a bakery, restaurant, coffee shop or another fine foodservice establishment that serves up its fair share of baked goods, Parts Town is your one-stop shop for everything from plastic cake knives and servers to trimming knives for cakes. 

Why Do You Need a Cake Knife 

Because cakes are supremely soft and moist, they need a special type of knife to cut through the layers without buckling the icing. A cake knife offers that solution. Its serrated edge and fine teeth are ideal for cutting without crumbling the sponge or smearing the filling. They’re also longer than typical pastry knives at 8-10 inches, which allows the wielder to cut through a large cake without having to take up and reset.

What Is the Difference Between Cake Knife and Bread Knife

The two knives are just about equivalent in length, but cake knives have a thinner blade with finer teeth and a narrower gullet that makes it better for slicing through softer mediums. In contrast, bread knives have a more robust blade with thicker teeth and a wider gullet that provides more control when cutting through tough outer crusts.
