How tall of a cake with this leveler work on?

The leveler is meant to slice through cake layers that come from directly from a baking pan. A 4.5 inch tall X 10.5 inch wide layer could pass through the leveler and be trimmed by it. The highest (setting 1) the cutting wire is meant to go is 2.5 inches above the counter surface. Therefore thickest even slice expected would be 2.5" (2 1/2 inches). (I supposed there's a bit of leeway to get another 1/2 inch from it, if you wanted to slide the wire above 1, you could get a 3" thick layer.) The lowest wire setting is 0.75 (3/4) inch from the surface. If your layer fits, but is too tall to trim the top on a first pass, you can make your first cut, you'll have no trouble slicing the top off on a second pass. I have a narrow wire cooling rack that I use to lift my layers (baked in 10" diameter round pans) when I pass the cutter through them. Lately I've made a few American Flag cakes requiring 13 thin layers (alternating red and white). I couldn't imagine attempting it without the leveler. I get neat thin layers. Enjoy.

And this is better than a knife? I've always trimmed with a knife and lifted off the piece that I cut off. How is this better? I don't get it.

Mine broke this weekend, after using it for almost four years and making over 150 cakes! After it broke this weekend i had to try cutting my cake layers with a regular knife, OMG, i hated my cake, lol, it wasn't completely straight/level...definitely purchasing another one immediately, right now!!! I can't live without this!

Can you buy the metel wire sepretly?

I've looked I've on their site & haven't found them. I've goggled them & didn't find anything. I can't say no for sure but it doesn't look like they're available.

I'm confused about the "up to 10 inches" because I've seen a few different descriptions of this. Will this fit over a 9x13 cake?

Yes! I used it on a cake made in large disposable jelly roll pans. Much larger than 9x13

Not worth the money

To adjust the leveller is very difficult,though it cuts to give a level cake but to adjust it up and down it’s not handy.
