Cake Knives

The PME cake knife is a straightforward, well-made slicing tool designed specifically for cutting sponges, layered cakes, and delicate baked goods. At 35.5cm, the blade is long enough to draw cleanly through a full-sized round or sheet cake in a single pass, which matters when presentation is important and crumb scatter needs to be kept to a minimum.

The serrated edge does the work here — it grips the surface of soft sponge without compressing it, allowing the blade to move through cleanly rather than dragging or tearing. For operations producing celebration cakes, afternoon tea services, or dessert platters, that clean cut translates directly into better-looking portions with less wastage from crushed or uneven slices.

• Serrated edge cuts through soft sponge without compression or tearing
• Long blade length allows single-pass cuts on standard round and sheet cakes
• Stainless steel construction resists staining and holds its edge under regular use
• Lightweight build reduces hand fatigue during repetitive portioning
• Hand wash only — straightforward to maintain with warm soapy water

This knife is well suited to bakeries, patisseries, hotel banqueting kitchens, and any catering operation where cakes are portioned regularly. It is a single-purpose tool and works best in that role — operators needing a general-purpose slicing knife for bread or savoury work would be better served by a different blade profile.

If you're equipping a new pastry section or want to make sure this is the right size for your typical cake dimensions, feel free to get in touch with the team.

This 23cm wedding cake knife is a straightforward, purpose-made serving knife intended for cake cutting at weddings, banquets, and formal catering events. Constructed from 18/0 stainless steel throughout, it features a decorative kings pattern on the hollow handle, giving it a presentable finish appropriate for front-of-house use without the cost of silverware.

In practical terms, this is a light, easy-to-handle knife suited to occasional ceremonial use rather than high-volume kitchen prep. The 18/0 stainless steel construction is corrosion resistant and straightforward to clean, holding up well under standard commercial dishwasher cycles. At 170g it sits comfortably in the hand for the brief cutting duties it's designed for.

It's worth being clear about where this knife fits: it is not a general-purpose chef's knife or a heavy-duty cutting tool. It is designed for the specific task of presenting and portioning celebration cakes in a hospitality setting — weddings, private dining, hotel banqueting, and similar events where appearance as well as function matters.

If you're equipping a banqueting operation or event catering team and need guidance on broader smallwares requirements, we're happy to help work through what's appropriate for your setup.

The Schneider cake knife and server is a dual-purpose pastry knife designed for slicing and serving cakes, tarts, and similar baked goods in a catering environment. The blade combines a saw edge with a plain edge, giving it versatility across different textures — from soft sponge to firmer pastry cases — without requiring a separate tool for each.

In service, that combination edge is practical rather than gimmicky. Staff can cut cleanly through layered cakes or portioned tart without tearing the surface, and the server portion means the same piece handles plating directly. For a busy dessert station or buffet line, reducing the number of utensils in play keeps service moving and reduces washing up between covers.

• Combined saw and plain edge handles a range of cake and pastry textures
• Server function removes the need for a separate cake slice
• Chrome-molybdenum steel blade construction for reliable edge retention
• POM handle with stainless steel rivets for a secure, hygienic grip
• Lightweight at 90g — comfortable for extended service periods

The chrome-molybdenum steel blade is hardened to 52 HRC, which is a reasonable hardness for this type of knife — firm enough to hold an edge through regular use, while still practical to sharpen when needed. The POM handle is smooth, non-porous, and fixed with stainless steel rivets, making it straightforward to clean and compliant with typical food hygiene requirements.

This knife is well suited to patisseries, hotel banqueting, restaurant dessert service, and catering operations where cakes and pastries are plated regularly. It is a single-purpose tool and is not intended to replace general kitchen knives. If your operation involves very high-volume portioning of dense or frozen products, a heavier-duty option may be worth considering.

If you are putting together a full pastry section kit or are unsure whether this size suits your typical portion work, the team is happy to advise.
