10 Best Cake Knives UK 2024 | John Lewis & Partners, KitchenCraft and More

This high-quality set includes both a cake knife and a cake server made from surgical-grade 18/10 stainless steel, which ensures they are practical and last for years. The handles are also steel-plated and include a decadent, raised floral pattern, which adds a touch of style, and allows for a decent grip when portioning large cakes.

Both utensils have a decent weight, which adds another layer of luxury and high quality to the overall feel. As a bonus, the set is packaged in a lovely presentation box, making them an ideal gift for a wedding or special party.

Next up, we have a cake server with an understated yet beautiful design featuring an elegant teardrop handle. This minimalist style is perfect for fitting in with all types of existing cutlery but works just as well as a stand-alone piece. Plus, it comes with an impressive 25-year guarantee.

The cake slice is crafted from high-quality 18/0 stainless steel and features a smooth, mirrored finish making it great for cutting soft and delicately-iced cakes. It's also dishwasher safe! The only reason this one hasn't hit the top spot is simply because it isn't serrated, so it'll be no use for cutting dense cakes and hard icing. Still, if you just need something for portioning, you can't get much better than this. 

If you're looking for something a bit funkier, this cake slice will always make you smile! With the quirky combination of the dalmatian print ceramic handle and the opulent gold finish of the blade, this is perfect for both day-to-day and special occasion use.

Designed by respected UK textile designer Eleanor Bowmer, this gift-boxed offering would make a lovely present for anyone who loves joyous prints and fabulous fabrics - as well as cake, of course!

Inspired by Victorian ivory cutlery, this acrylic alternative is an ornate-yet-practical cake server that would be a glamourous addition to any afternoon tea party or vintage-themed gathering.

Made in Italy, the quality stainless steel blade is smoothly rounded, making it ideal for slicing and serving light sponges and cupcakes but would struggle with dense fruit cakes and solid icing toppings. Amazingly, though, it is dishwasher-safe! Just be sure to wipe it dry as soon as possible after washing.

KitchenCraft is well known for its cost-effective, durable and functional kitchen tools, and this cake slicer doesn't disappoint. The 2-in-1 design features both a serrated edge and a flat lifting surface, guaranteeing easy slicing of any cake, pie or tart.

The ingenious inclusion of a metal loop at the tip of the handle allows you to hang it in even the most compact of kitchens. Its stainless steel construction also means the knife can be cleaned in the dishwasher, which is always a plus in our books!

Housed in a gift box that is almost as gorgeous as the item itself, this cake slice would make an excellent present for anyone who loves baking or home aesthetics. Plus, the floral and bird motif on the handle will appeal to both young and older people, making it a great all-rounder!

The serrated edge will make light work of fruit cake, tarts and pies, as well as slicing the more delicate cakes with expert precision. The porcelain handle does mean that it's hand-wash only, so a little extra effort needs to be taken over its care.

The clean lines and pleasingly simple design of this cake slice exaggerate the slim and elegant taper of the handle. Don't be deceived, though, the serrated edge and 18/10 stainless steel mean it's a practical choice for cutting any medium-sized cake or tart.

The slice (made in Vietnam) has been both machine and hand-polished, giving it a virtually-perfect shine. This product is also dishwasher safe, although you must remove and dry it as soon as the washing cycle is finished; otherwise, you risk staining and corrosion. 

This vintage-inspired cake server from Arthur Price is based on an Old English pattern dating back to the early 1700s. So, as well as being a stylish choice, it's also a real conversation starter!

While it definitely has a somewhat minimalist style to it, the serrated edge and the fact that it's dishwasher-safe mean it's money well-spent! The stainless steel is also fittingly finished in Sheffield - the original birthplace of British steelworking. Unfortunately, though, the price tag is relatively high, which may put some people off.

Spode has been designing and making its patterned kitchenware for over 250 years. This Portmerion-range cake slice, with a stainless steel serrated blade and ceramic handle, would be an excellent addition to someone's collection of blue and white ceramics.

One of the biggest pros of this product is that the historic company rigorously check that quality and workmanship are upheld, meaning you know you'll be getting a high-quality product. However, due to the ceramic handle, this item isn't dishwasher safe, so it will require a little more care.

This novelty cake cutter is perfect for those who want to inject a bit of fun into the cake cutting experience. Children will particularly love this one, making it a great option for kid's parties. Just remember, this is a serrated knife - not a toy!

Unsurprisingly the cake cutter isn't dishwasher safe and you need need to take close care when handwashing it. While it does come with 4 choices of melodies, it doesn't come with batteries, so make sure you have 2 AAA batteries ready!
