How to Level and Torte a Cake from Wilton

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 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. :-)

[zachariah-binyisrayl]

These type of videos really simplify the baking and decorating process. I'm gonna be a MONSTER/MASTER baker in no time...omg. :-)

That looked so easy. I want a cake leveller now!

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

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?

I got cake leveller and I didn't know how to use it. Thanks for showing it! I wonder if mine will cut so easily through the cake.

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?

[sleeptalk]

How do you make the cake so perfect? I mean how do you prepare it that it bakes nicely

[suchishomeremedies]

I bought Wilton cake leveler, but it’s next to impossible to adjust the levels.

[chrismurphy]

Is the wire serrated and should the cake be warm or cold when you use a cake leveller?

[deborahhenares]

Hi...i bought this kind of cake leveler from wilton, and now its broken, is there any way to save and fix it?

[Kim-upzw]

I need to do this with a whole Watermelon, would it work? I guess as long as the leveler is high enough.

[jjbda]

So what size cake was this in the demo?
