The Norpro cake and pizza lifter resembles a pizza paddle or a glorified, circular spatula and performs like a combination of both. It deftly slides under cakes without shifting the layers and outmaneuvers flimsy crust; the tapered edge provides an appropriate angle for retrieving food from counters, plates, and racks and then removing them from the lifter. These treats can be substantial to carry around, all the more reason to appreciate the Grip-EZ handle, which allows for a stronger grip and absorbs the pressure so your hands don"t have to. Also makes a great whacker for warding off icing nibblers.
