Abstract: A dessert cutter particularly useful for delicate cakes with soft and moist composition. A frame supports a plurality of taut wires in a geometric relationship. The frame provides a grip for pressing the wires through a cake and a guide surface for visual alignment during the cutting application.

Abstract: In a cutting device and, in particular, a device for cutting a flat object, such as a pizza, or the like, a base is provided which has two oppositely facing flat surfaces thereon. Each of the flat surfaces has scribed therein a plurality of straight slots which intersect to subdivide the surface into a plurality of segments. The segments may be pie-shaped, square, rectangular, or the like. A cutting instrument is drawn through each slot on one of said surfaces to cut a superimposed flat object, such as a pizza, into pieces.

Abstract: A citrus fruit halving device comprising a holder and blade both of plastic and formed integrally and of one piece with each other, the blade having a sawtooth upper edge disposed adjacent the upper portions of the side walls of the holder, the holder forming a juice-confining chamber at its bottom and having enlarged and generally circular recesses in the side walls, adequate in size to receive the citrus fruits when thrust downwardly over the blade with a slight rotation to halve the fruit, the recess having a depth below the top edge of the blade nearly as deep as the diameter of the fruit so that the fruit may be halved in one downward thrusting motion with slight rotation.

Abstract: A unitary device for splitting into substanitally equal halves a previously uncut muffin, or the like. The device is constructed in two hingedly-connected parts each having a plurality of tines extending fixedly therefrom in parallel relation. The parts are moved to a first position, wherein all the tines are arranged in a single, parallel row, and a muffin is inserted sideways so that it is pierced by the tines. Upon movement about the hinged connection away from this position the tines of the two parts are separated, breaking the muffin transversely into two parts.

Abstract: A guide for cutting a cake into multiple layers. A pair of vertically positioned walls are joined adjacent their rear edges in a generally V-shape. The walls are slanted to taper upwardly from an integral base portion to an integral top and forming an open front. The front edges of the walls are provided with spaced horizontal slots extending inwardly from their front edges. The slots are approximately 0.0625 inch in width, between 1 inch and 11/2 inches in length, and approximately 1/2 inch apart. The slots in each wall are in horizontal alignment with each other whereby a knife blade can be inserted horizontally between pairs of slots to be held in a horizontal position at a predetermined level. A cake can be turned against the knife blade to slice a horizontal layer from the top portion of the cake. The blade can then be successively lowered from slot to slot to cut the cake into a plurality of 1/2 inch layers. The device may be stamped from metal or molded from a suitable plastic material.
