Cheesecakes

I am selling my cheesecakes faster than I can make them, I need to find out how to cut cheesecakes with the paper separators. I usually use fishing line, but now I am selling to restaurants... can anyone help???

There are many commercial pie cutters for restaurants, I'm not sure why you can't sell your cheesecakes whole to the restaurant and let them cut the number of pieces that they want to sell. By messing with paper separators and cutting your double handling the cake more and having more of a chance of contamination. When the time comes that your selling so much that you need commercial production you can go to the paper separators. Actually by having a whole pie, your packaging for damage is much easier. Cut pieces will separate easier and damage easier. RJF

Sorry I can't help, but CONGRATULATIONS on your success.

Buy more springform pans. Almost kidding, but you can really cut down on operating time by baking more at a time in that commercial kitchen oven I'm sure your using. I do charge extra to cut my cheesecakes, but that doesn't seem to be too much of an issue with the restaurants carrying them. Some will pay for the convenience of having me slice them. I slice them while they are still frozen. It makes for clean, easy handling of the cakes. That cheesecake slicer looks pretty cool, I wonder if they make a 16 partition slicer, as that seems to be the most popular size for my cakes. Good luck and please keep us posted on how business is.

those are pretty generous slices for a rich cheesecake. Biker Jim , I didn't know that you made homemade cheesecakes. That's great.

BTW, I was referring to the cheesecake slicer website....

Homemade is a word we don't use when describing cheesecakes we sell. (Gotta use a commercial kitchen dontcha know) We prefer the term..."Handcrafted"
But yes, I thought I would have a cheesecake business long before I ever thought about selling hot dogs. And although we supply several local restaurants, the hot dogs are really our bread and butter here.
