Define light and fluffy - as in boxed mix without enhancement, or angelfood, or what?
I know I would never use it on an angelfood cake, nor on a flourless cake, but otherwise, I see no problem using it.

I see no reason not to use it on everything. That's what it's made for - cutting cakes. All types of cakes.
leah.....your the person who talked me into asking for this for Christmas lol....I just wanted to make sure there were no secrets I am going to learn the hard way....hehehe
oh..and yes as in cake mix no enhancements or angel food yes....anything and everything
madge, the only secret you're going to learn is that the thing is unbelievably sharp. Expect to sacrifice a finger. Well, just a cut on your finger, not a whole finger.
The only bad review of an Agbay that I EVER saw was one lady who thought it was too much trouble to get out when she wanted to use it.
Other than that, every other review I've ever seen is glowing. It does what it's supposed to, flawlessly. I love mine, I only wish I did more cakes so I could get to use it more often.
If you get it, do buy the cleaner/blade scraper (I think it's like $7), that helps clean the gunk off if you have a really moist cake.
It's exactly as advertised. I can't tell you enough how much I love mine. It is harder to cut extra moist cakes, particularly when they're smaller (the big ones weigh themselves down, the smaller ones you have to hold just right), but nothing too hard . And I shudder to think of how hard those cakes were WITHOUT an Agbay anyway! I know you'll love it as much as I love mine .
The only issue I have with mine is if I have a really moist cake and I'm only slicing off a tiny bit to level it. It will sometimes gum up and drag thru the cake. Other than that and the fact that I too have sliced a finger......it is FANTASTIC!
I had trouble with a carrot cake once and it kept getting snagged on pieces of nuts, etc...so I learned to pop it in the freezer for a little bit first.

oh geeze...I just sliced my finger slicing an orange hahaha....I will be extra careful with my agbay.....also they tell you to sit the cake on non skid material so it holds still for you to cut....
Mine came through today!!!! Cannot wait to try it out. I am a complete klutz though, so will have the first aid kit on standby!

I just got mine this week (haven't used it yet) and they're now including the cleaning tool with the purchase.
lol yes, a first aid kit sounds like a must!
I am going to bake today so I can use it!!!!
Happy New Year Everyone!
Everyone is absolutely correct....the Agbay is a jewel of a tool...now tht I have it, it has become indispensable and I've tossed out the old flimsy Wilton levelers. And I've only lost one fingertip to my Agbay!!!!! Don't even think of taking it out of my kitchen!!!
Ooooh,oooh, I love mine, too! Yes, VERY sharp. It doesn't fit in my dishwasher, though. How do you others clean yours? I clean mine with hot water and a soapy paper towel and to sanitize it I molded foil around it to make a trough and I sit the Agbay in it with bleach water. I just fold the foil up a bit and put it away so I can use it again.
I haven't found a cake it didn't work beautifully on. As far as cleaning, I clean the blade from the backside, slowly and carefully and mist with a sanitizer and allow to air dry.
I love, love, love, did I say LOVE my agbay! It's really sturdy too (hubby knocked it down the stairs with no issues - to the agbay that is!). Definately must watch the blade though, it isn't forgiving to fingers that end up in the way. I know you'll enjoy yours.
