I thought I had a serrated knife but it doesn't appear as serrated as say a bread knife.. am I supposed to be using a bread knife?
TIA
It can depend on the cake you have. Use whatever works, sometimes a smooth, sharp, small knife works better than a serrated knife.
I watched Bronwen Weber use an electric carving knife on a large cake.
I would have several different knives handy, and select one that works.
yes my knife has been tearing.. thanks for the tips!
I took a cake carving class with Bronwen and she just used a bread knife. That's all I've ever used. Once you carve the basic shape you can just rub with your hands to smooth it all out. For the small details in the cake where you might use a smaller knife, I just put the detail in the fondant and don't worry about the cake.
thank you alimonkey! I got a pirate ship cake for saturday and I need it to be cook and not tearing up on me!
