I finally did it! After all the threads and reviews I have read, I payed the price tag and brought myself an Agbay cake leveler. Everyone swears blind that it's worth it's weight in gold. So I wanted in! After all sounds like a solid investment. However, I only purchased the Junior as I don't do cakes often. Three cakes a week tops. So it's perfect for my requirements. Perfection is the key! So my question is, what are your experiences with the Agbay? Is it easy to adjust? (Click into place?)
I love mine, have the double but have not used it as a double yet. I love that you can cut your layers so straight that when you stack them I rarely have to try and straighten them to make level. In fact I did a 3 layer baby shower cake this weekend and the only reason I had to do anything with it was due to the fact I had a big bag of sugar hit part of it. Grrrr! You are going to love it!
AI don't own one, but I got to borrow one from a friend for about a week. It was the single blade, so not sure if that is different from the junior one you ordered. The one I had could be loosened and adjusted easily,but it always took a while for me to make sure that each side was exactly on the same measurement. It also took me a while to make sure I was cutting the layer exactly in the middle. Perhaps these are things that come more easily with time, but there was definitely a learning curve for me.
Mine arrived today!! So exciting, I assembled it right away and then realized I have nothing to test it on. I have bread and I'm actually tempted to slice it just for fun... even though it's presliced bread. I have issues lol.
Guess I need to bake something tonight!
AI bought mine while ago and really love it. But I have to emphasize the sharpness of that blade. My finger BARELY grazed it and it sliced it. Be very careful lol.
AHaha! Mine is either coming today or tomorrow! Excitement over lode !!
I'm jealous!!! You lucky dogs. One day I am going to buy me one of those and hopefully soon.
Happy baking to you all!!!
AUpdate !!! It's here :D[IMG]http://cakecentral.com/content/type/61/id/3260470/width/200/height/400[/IMG]
Yay for You!!! Get baking.... I am totally in love with my Agbay. I only bought the Junior as I cake for fun and at beginner level only. Luckily it arrived after I'd been baking half a dozen cakes. I torted those suckers to death! Even my hubby had a go. It's just over too soon though. I know you can't tell from this pic, but it all came together for me after using the Agbay. One less thing to stress about. First time using MFF, the Agbay and the Kitchen Aid. Well worth the money in my book.
AAssembled it now. Think it may be a little difficult getting the sides to match? Love it though! Very nice weight and craftsmanship
AI used it on the day it arrived! Already had cakes baked off, so just in time really. After reading all the threads on how sharp it was, I took extra care when assembling and using it. Didn't cut myself! A truley amazing product. Perfection is the aim of the game! Can't believe I waited so long to get an Agbay!! :)
AThats what I said for too long! Why do I need this? I have a knife. Im a trained pastry chef. Why do I need a gadget to slice a cake? Well, I finally purchased the Agbay and my caking changed. Stress level went right down, as I KNEW the cake would be level. Then I switched to SPS and needed my layers at precisely 7/8". No problem with the Agbay! As I always say, once you own an Agbay, you'll wonder how you caked without it! Im quite the Agbay cheerleader.
