A pastry server can also be referred to as a dessert server, cake cutter, cake server, or dessert slicer. It is a utensil designed to make the serving of pastries and desserts easier. The blade of a pastry server is usually flat and wide, allowing the user to cut a generous slice without damaging the delicate pastry. Some models come with serrated edges, which are ideal for slicing through cakes and other baked goods with a crispy crust. Pastry servers are typically made of stainless steel or silver and can be found in a variety of shapes and designs, including those with ornate handles for an elegant touch.
