Cake divider

A cake slicer and divider comprising a core with a plurality of arms detachably securable thereto to project radially from the core, said core including location means to support said arms, said location means being positioned in arrays at two ends of the core whereby a plurality of said arms may be attached to each end of the core to extend radially from the core, each pair of adjacent arms defining a segment and the number of segments being variable in dependence on the number of arms that are attached to the core, each arm being an elongate planar member with a cutting edge on an under edge, and a force transmitting member at an upper end of the core whereby hand pressure on the force transmitting member imparts a downward force on the core and arms to cause the cutting edges of the arms to slice a cake into slices enclosed between adjacent planar members so that the slicer and divider when in situ with a sliced cake protects the slices from air contact, the spacing of the array of location means at one end of the core being different from the spacing of the array of location means at the other end of the core so that the core can be inverted to vary the number of arms that can be attached to the core to permit altering the size of the segments by changing the number of arms attached to the core.
