How do you use it? I am looking at getting the double bladed one but want to make sure they really are worth it first. I saw a post on here some where were someone had one but couldn't figure out how to use it. Weather to pull it over and through cake or pull cake through it. I just want to see how someone with it uses it and likes it. Thanks in advance for any and all help.
I usually clear off a space on the table, or counter, and adjust the height of my blades. Then I sit the cake on a non-skid mat and slide the leveler in a sawing motion through the cake . I like to have the cake partially frozen as well because it is easier to handle the layers once they are cut.
I hope this made sense to you!
It's super-easy to use and it slices through the cake like butter. I highly recommend it!!
I'm planning on getting one of these as well. They look great!
The lady who posted before said it was tearing the heck outs her cake, I wonder if she could have left the blade protector on or something? I have always heard they were awesome! I have a chance to buy the single blade for about 55.00 do think that's a good deal? The lady with it said she bought it 2 years ago and just doesn't bake anymore. She has all the stuff it comes with and says the blade is still really sharp.
I'm the original poster re: tearing up my cake....
I discovered that the issue was the cake was too fresh - it has to sit overnight before it won't fall apart when using the agbay.
I have to say that I've since used it several times (with properly rested cake) and I LOVE LOVE LOVE it. It just takes a time or two to get the hang of it.
I actually have figured out that I can leave the agbay stationary and then I see saw my cakes through it.
AND - I cannot emphasize this enough - the customer service is OUTSTANDING - unlike ANY I've ever encountered. Within an hour of my first post about cake tearing - Maureen called me at home - on a Sunday - to help! She has since called to follow up to make sure everything is working okay.
I think it was worth every single penny!!
Oh I am so glad to hear you figured out what the problem was!!!!!
I so want one but wanted to be sure it was worth it ya know?
Well I guess I better let hubby know it's all good now!!! YAY!!!!
Did you call and place an order or what? If you don't mind sharing that is.
I would definitely buy it for $55!!!!!!!!!! I bought it from Maureen and would buy it again!
Deana - you are right, Maureen is great and always trying to help!! She belongs to my state ICES group and I have met her a few times. She was selling some books at one of our meetings, and the one I wanted wasn't there, but she had it at home - I paid her and she shipped it out in the next few days!
