Tortenausheber

Tortenausheber is a German term that translates to "cake lifter" or "cake server." It refers to a kitchen utensil designed to easily transfer cakes from a baking pan or serving plate to a desired location, such as a cake stand or individual serving plates. Typically, a Tortenausheber has a wide, flat, and thin blade that can slide underneath a cake without damaging its structure. The blade is often broad enough to support the entire cake or a significant portion of it, and it usually connects to a handle for comfortable grip and maneuverability.

These tools are especially useful for delicate cakes, cheesecakes, or any baked goods that might crumble or break if handled with a spatula or knife. The design allows for a smooth, clean transfer, preserving the cake's appearance. Some Tortenausheber are made of metal, such as stainless steel, while others might be constructed from durable plastic or silicone. The size and shape can vary, with some being round to accommodate round cakes and others being rectangular or square. The primary function remains consistent: to lift and move cakes with ease and precision.
