Is it big enough to cut through a 12" x 12" square cake?

No it's not long enough. I found that if u need a bigger cake cut u can just use dental floss. Wrap it around ur finger where the height you want and slide side to side. Just in case you don't want to spend the money. :)

Can one of the wires come off?

I have this cake leveler product but I much prefer one that has a single cutter. I do not care for this one at all. It is too difficult to manage both wires without ripping, tearing, or having your layers uneven. I am a professional baker and have been during college and still with my other career. I've used toothpicks to mark around a cake as a guide and then just use a knife to cut the layers. I've used dental floss (make sure it isn't mint flavored) but didn't like that idea at all it tears delicate cakes. My favorite is the single professional cake levelers/cutters that are adjustable. Even with them you still must be careful about the wire. I find it best to saw gently and slowly because they will bend & at times you must place your hands on the sides of the wire while leveling your cake to keep it even or help it along. The top handle has to used for leverage. They have to be designed this way because the cutter has to be very thin. This is one reason why I prefer a single wire leveler/cutter. I use mine several times a week and have cut all types of cakes, even frozen ones (not recommended all the time but this one cake has to cut while frozen) Save your money with this product and purchase a single one. I like to remove the cut layer, adjust the levele if necessary, and cut/torte another layer. Some people like to keep the whole cake together while torting but I can best judge by removing the layers with a cake board or large cake spatula. I've had my single wire leveler for years. I don't mishandle it but take my time but I'm a perfectionist. Levelers are about 10" so larger cakes need the toothpicks around the sides as a guide & a good knife.

The extra wire (top) is not tight...How do you tighten it?

Jenny, I noticed that, too. At first I thought the wires were of different lengths, so I took off the little rubber "feet", removed both wires, and switched them. Same problem. When Only one wire is attached, it is as tight as ever, but when I add the second wire to the bottom, the top one gets loose. That seems to be because bottom wire pulls the two "arms" closer together and they are gradually slanted inward to begin with. So far I have been satisfied to only use one wire, but I suppose you could just hold the top wire against the "arm" and keep it tight that way.

Can you remove one wire to make it a single cutter?

Hello! My name is Jessica, an employee at HIC Kitchen. Thank you for inquiring about Mrs. Anderon's Adjustable 2-Wire Layer Cake Cutter and Leveler, Stainless Steel! In regards to your question, unfortunately you can not remove the wire from the product. Hope this was helpful!
