xPrecision for Even Portions, Every Time
The Ateco Cake Portion Marker is designed for bakers who want consistent, visually balanced slices without guesswork. This dual-sided tool offers clear guides for 10 or 12 servings, so you can pre-mark a frosted cake and proceed with decorations with confidence. The readable markings stay legible as you work, helping you track progress at a glance.
Ideal for cakes up to 16 inches in diameter, the marker has a practical 10.5-inch footprint (plus handles) that fits comfortably on large rounds. It’s not meant to cut or slice the cake; instead, it serves as a precise planning aide, letting you portion evenly before serving or presenting. After marking, you can finish with piping, borders, or toppers to complete your design.
