The seven-arm pie marker
What is a seven-arm pie marker?
A neat slice of cake is good enough to show the professionalism of your restaurant. The aluminium slice pie marker helps you to mark the cake cut evenly. Ensures you deliver the same portion of cake and pie every time. It features nine teeth on each arm and a removable knob for easy cleaning and space-efficient storage.
A seven-arm Pie Marker scores the top of pies with a visible guideline for cutting even slices. The Pie Marker, also known as a pie divider, is designed to work with all types of pies, including frozen and homemade pies.
Whether you are just learning how to make a pie or perfecting a pie crust from scratch, this must-have tool removes the guesswork, so slicing equal portions is a piece of cake. Speaking of cake, it will also work great as a cake marker!
Use it to pierce steam vents into pie crusts before baking for crispier crusts, mark portions into cheesecakes, tarts, single-pan skillet cookies, or pan cookies, and score savoury dishes like quiche, chicken pot pie, shepherd’s pie, pasty, and pizza.
Cutting identical portions helps control costs and reduce waste.
Serving equal portions at family meals, party buffets, and holiday meals makes a more excellent presentation. It helps thwart squabbles at the table, at least over the larger piece of dessert.
Easy to use.

Have I used The seven-arm pie marker? Do I need it?
No, I haven’t used this type of pie marker. I do have a cake divider, which I could possibly use to help mark if the top was soft, but in the bakery, we sell pies whole, so there isn’t a use for us.
Do I use it every day?
If we were a cafe or restaurant that served pie slices, I think the pie marker would be beneficial. It would save time and maintain even portions for cost and customer consistency.
