Holly Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 I bought some wax pies that were pre-cut into slices (still a bit hard to get the pieces out) and the cut lines look real fine -- like a special tool may have been used to do it. I am going to be making these myself and don't know a whole a lot about wax pie making yet. I ran a search but did not find a whole lot. Here are a couple questions: When do you make the cut? I don't think they would have made the cut after it was all the way cool because most likely it would have chipped and looked ruff. I ended up having to take a knife to get the pieces apart and small little chips came off.Is there a special cutting tool to cut the pie pieces? I think I have seen pie cutters that will slice 8 (or whatever the number is) slices at one time. I don't know what they are called.Thanks for any help.

Carriegsxr6 Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 I dont think you are able to cut the pie after you make it. I imagine it would break into pieces. They could have just made 8 individual slices with a single slice mold and put them together in the shape of a whole pie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like they may have used the pie cutter when it was still slightly soft. Because the cuts are not good enough, I have to take a knife to it and that is when you can get little chips off of the piece that you are trying to get out. If I heat the knife up it is better, then I make hold it and put a little pressure on it and it pops apart. I know that when I go to make the pies, I would want to make sure the cuts are more definite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
