It looks like a ninja weapon. Or maybe something out of Ty Pennington's tool box. This contraption, a sturdy handle with what looks like a piese of chicken wire pulled tautly across it, is a cake leveler. The adjustable-height wire is the part the does the cutting of regular layers into unltra-thin layers, or across the top of any part of a cake that may have "domed" up in the baking process. I mean really, you didn't think all those individual layers in that gorgeous, impossibly tall layer cakes came out that way, did you?
Cake levelers run under $5 and are available at any cake/candy or kitchen supply store.

Augh! I thought I got the Pucca theme song out of my head after hearing it for an entire day!
Now I want to re-watch the episode where the ninja chefs undergo an ordeal to prove their abilities.
