Pantry Birch-Handled Cake Tester by Farmhouse Pottery

A turned birch handle gives a slender cake-testing probe a comfortable place to hold. The Pantry Cake Tester reaches into the center of a loaf or cake without the bulk of a kitchen knife, then returns to the drawer for the next baking day.

“Among the baking tools is where I would keep the tester, easy to find during the final minutes in the oven.”
-Mrs. Mayfair

Maker / Heritage

Founded in Woodstock, Vermont, in 2012, Farmhouse Pottery brings a working potter’s eye to everyday housewares. Founder James Zilian’s training in ceramics and years designing for Simon Pearce inform the restrained shapes; English studio pottery and the Japanese idea of wabi-sabi inform an affection for visible process and small variations. The signature Silo forms take their lines from Vermont’s farm silos, pairing white glaze with revealed clay. From that starting point, the collection extends into complementary tools and textiles, chosen to make a useful, tactile whole at home.
