Your cart is empty.HIC’s Amish Cake Tester is the authentic more accurate way to bake a cake that’s fully cooked in the center. Made in America by Amish crafters in Lancaster PA, this natural corn broom is a great addition to cake making and baking supplies for easy and accurate cake testing. Straw’s natural texture holds raw batter better than using metal cake testers. The narrow profile won’t leave large holes behind that need to be filled or patched. Longer than toothpicks, the corn husk straws (measuring approximately 3.5-inches) reach deeper into cakes for more accuracy than the toothpick test. The hanger loop allows it to be stored conveniently near the oven. It’s safe for use with non-stick cake pans and baking pans and makes a great kitchen decoration, too. So easy to use. Simply break a strand from the straw broom and insert it into the cake’s center. If the straw comes out clean, the cake is fully cooked. If raw batter clings to the straw, the cake needs more time to cook. Whether learning how to bake a cake from scratch or using cake mixes, it’s perfect for making cake of all types, like red velvet cake, mini cakes, birthday cakes, wedding cakes, brownies, cheesecakes, brownies, even quick breads, like banana bread or cornbread. Use a single straw to pierce air holes in pastry dough or pie crust to eliminate bubbles. For cake decorating, use it to dust crumbs from the surface of a cake before applying icing, draw or stipple on icing decorations, etch line art into fondant, and more. Amish made from natural corn husk, HIC’s Amish Cake Tester is easy to use, versatile, and safe for use with nonstick bakeware. Each straw from the broom is intended for single use and is disposable for easy cleanup.

Arrived as described. Bought this to replace one I had many years ago, and this was the same except a much smaller size than what I was expecting. This would make a fun gift for anyone who enjoys baking, especially when paired with other little baking essentials. Would recommend.

Unique addition to my collection of inherited kitchen items from my grandparents. When I told my friends about testing cakes with a broom straw they couldn’t believe it. Now to see it “contained†the way it is now, it’s just fun & useful.

Perfect for testing your baked goods. Just pull a strand off and poke your whatever is in the oven. So far as been very accurate!

It's very cute (in my opinion). I hung it on a magnetic hook on my range hood, so it's handy. I like using it much better than toothpicks (thinner and longer). It is a little pricey for basically a miniature whisk broom, but will probably last a long time.

I was given one of these thirty years ago. I bought this one to give our daughter-in-law. They work great. I learned, after a few years, to *not* remove the entire straw. If you do, at some point the metal band cannot hold them together and you end up having to use a rubber band. It is better to break off a straw for testing. This is not a long cake tester, so breaking off gives you approx. four inches. It won't work for deep things like a Bundt cake. But for normal cakes and muffins, it is the best.

With this purpose made tester you don’t have to worry if your broom is really clean.

I bought this for my daughter because she was using a toothpick to check her cakes. She complained that the toothpick made big holes in the surface of her cake. She absolutely loves this product as do I! It’s the best!!
