Both marked Sterling
always dig through the silverware bins in thrift stores because you never know what you will find
The cake breaker was in the HAIR accessories....lol.
LOL the staff probably thought it was a Afro pick!
The breaker has me flummoxed. How does that work?
Karen I found a site where this person has the original directions for the cake breaker and this is what directions state;
Simple as 1-2-3 Cake Breakers by Schneider. A remarkable table accessory that breaks cake in even, beautiful portions, free from crumbs, leaving the most delicate frosting or filling intact." Amazingly, it does exactly what it promises. You just push the tongs gently into the cake where you would have sliced it, then lift it out and push them in again where you would have cut to take the slice out. By gently wiggling the cake breaker you can then lift the slice out perfectly intact every time - even the first slice - without leaving even a single crumb.
