I need to tort two cakes. They are two inch cakes. How do you tort a cake? I have never done it before and I was hoping I could tort them into three peices,is this possible? Can I use a knife because I dont have a cake torter thing? I was thinking maybe I could use dental floss or should I just go buy the torting tool from wilton? My cakes are also frozen so do they need to be thawed or should I tort them frozen? I know I probrebly sound crazy but this will be my first real paid cake and I do not want it to fall or be lopsided. Please help and thank you very much.
hi there...well for me i find that the small cake leveler helps out the best...here it is 2.99 and u will get a level cake...too me it is very worth it....
you can however use a serated knife and get down at eye level..i just worry too much to do it this way...lol....
and u can level them frozen btw...it might make it a bit easier for you...
Another trick for you is placing tooth picks around the cake where you would like to torte it. You can use that as a guide for your knife.
I figure out where I want to cut and use a serated knife. I only cut into the cake about an inch until I get all the way around. Then the second time around, using a sawing motion, I follow my previous cuts only going in deeper while I keep turning the cake. Eventually your knife will go all the way through the cake and it should be level.
I hope I have explained that correctly.
I CANNOT live without my Wilton cake leveler! It's only a few dollars. When mine broke (after having it forever!) I went and bought a new one the next day!
Hmmm, I'd just torte the cake into 2 sections....3 might be too small!
Good luck 
CAN NOT LIVE without my Wilton cake leveler...worth the money to invest in. BUT I have torted cake (before then) without it. I used a very long (very long) knife...get eye level and take your time. Toothpicks are a good idea to use too.
agreed with above. I just made an extra cake for an earlier order this week and just used one single cake layer (2 inches) and torted with the above said wilton cake leveler. worked like a charm. i'll be doing this again in the future as this was my first time doing it hehehe
You have notches on the side that you can set to a desired height. You set it then saw through your cake. I have never had a problem using it but of course you should wait until your cake has cooled before using it. 
I"ve used both the small and large cake levelers from Wilton, and I have to say that I'm very glad to have invested in the large one with the serrated edge. It works like a dream, and is big enough for my largest pans.
The small one does have a tendency to go a bit uneven, because you have to kind of saw with the wire, and the cake can pull a bit (unless I was using it wrong, which I hope not... that's kind of an easy tool! LOL). It's not hugely noticeable, and icing it will fix this. The small leveler also tended to get a little ornery if I had to saw through a hardened edge at the top, but the large one just bites right in and takes it out. I love it!
The small one will do fine, though, until you can get the large one.
see hen /i first started posting here I read nothing but horrible things about the big one.
If you're looking for a good cake leveler, Agbay is a very good one. Here is the link to it: http://www.agbayproducts.com/
