Abstract: A cake cutting spool is provided for a user to dispense lengths of cutting thread therefrom and for cutting a cake in straight segments. The spool comprises a circular housing having a central spindle, an outer sidewall, and a securable door for retrieving and separating lengths of cutting thread. The cutting thread comprises a series of thread segments removably connected to one another and wound around the spindle, wherein each segment includes a first handled end and a second free end. The handled end includes a pull tab, which allows a user to grasp the thread segment and pull the free end thereof through the cake after a cutting procedure without lifting the thread through the cut line. This allows for straight line cutting and no sticking of the cake batter or icing to the tool after the cut is made, whereafter the utilized cutting thread is disposable.
