It's a small thing, but it annoyed me! Then I read I was "always suppose to use wooden toothpicks to test cakes, as these metal picks wouldn't work correctly". Right then. So I started using my little metal pick with my wooden toothpicks standing by just in case. Much to my delight, this cake tester worked. If there was anything that would stick to a wooden toothpick, it also stuck to my "stainless steel wire and polypropylene" tester. The first couple of times I used both the toothpick and the tester to be sure. The results were the same each time. So I learned that you can choose to test your cakes with whichever instrument makes you happy, as they both work. Since my goal was to stop throwing toothpicks away, I have happily accomplished that. I usually wipe my tester clean with a soapy sponge as soon as I'm done using it. Wipe it dry with a towel, and put it back in the drawer. That way it doesn't run the risk of clanking around with other dishes or utensils and getting bent. I've also noticed two wonderful things in addition to the fact that this tester works as well as a toothpick: Thing one - The hole made in the cake is smaller with this tester than it is with a toothpick. Thing two - You can use this tester to pop the little bubbles that rise to the top of your batter after you've poured it in the pans and tapped the pans to make the batter settle and the bubbles rise to the top. It's delightful and therapeutic. My OCD self is quite happy with my purchase!

Especially some cakes with fresh fruits. With the nature of the color of the material, it's also hard to tell if it came out with a wet status or dry inside the cake. Pros: : the surface looks good ( very hard to see the piercing. **Q: How long is the tester?** A: Like all cake testers it’s never long or big enough. But I have found that if you take the cake out to dinner and give it plenty of wine and give it roses at the end of the night it really doesn’t matter how long or big it is ,it’s all about the presentation! **Q: How long is this taster?** A: With the blue holder part it is 6” without the blue part it is 4.5 “ ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Stop throwing away toothpicks and start popping bubbles! *by M***A on July 19, 2016* I bought this little guy because I was tired of throwing away toothpicks.

Then again, so is the cake tester. Toothpicks are slightly wasteful. But then again, you have to wash this each time. So it's just a sort of funny and silly decision to try to make. However, I hope that my experiences with this not-so-important debate will be helpful to you :) Basically, the cake tester makes much smaller holes in your food. That's it. It is light-weight, easy to store, cheap (did I mention that?), and looks a bit flimsy but so far has withstood the bashing in my utensil jar against inevitably "tougher" guys. There is nothing wrong with a toothpick, but this cake tester will make a pin prick hold and the toothpick makes a bigger hole. That's about all I have to say about this :) Your turn to decide... ## Frequently Bought Together - Ateco 1445 Cake Tester- 1 pack - Ateco 1385 Offset Spatula with 4.5-Inch Stainless Steel Blade, Wood Handle, 4.5 Inch, natural - Ateco Ultra Offset Spatula with 4.25" x 0.75" Stainless Steel Blade, 4½", Silver --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/1207524-ateco-1445-cake-tester-1-pack](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/1207524-ateco-1445-cake-tester-1-pack) --- *Product available on Desertcart Great Britain* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
