An apparatus for slicing a cheesecake into a plurality of neatly cut pie-shaped slices of equal size. It includes a cutting cylinder having a plurality of tensioned cutting wires each extending diametrically across the lower end of the cylinder. The wires are tied at their one ends to retaining pins and at their other ends to guitar tuning peg assemblies at respective annularly spaced, equally distant locations about the cylinder. The cutting cylinder is attached with releasable latches beneath a similar size guide cylinder, in end to end relation. The cutting and guide cylinders are suspended from a U-shaped yoke with their common central axis extending vertically. The side edges of the yoke slidably engage respective vertical tracks which extend from a horizontal planar base. The cutting cylinder can be vertically reciprocated about its vertical axis into and out of close proximity with the base. This permits the tensioned wires across the lower end of the cutting cylinder to neatly slice a cheesecake centrally supported above the base on a pedestal.
