We have always just ordered cheesecakes from online then cut them with the band saw. Set up a jig to cut it properly it and you can easily get it down to perfect slices.

Does anyone have a McMaster part number for the cake?

So does the manufacture and working of cheesecake on the small scale really make sense?

I mean your competition has The Cheesecake Factory and that might make it hard to compete on costs and scale.

Why wouldn't you do COTS?

We've procured locally, then cut them using a lightweight hand saw with a very small kerf, which can be procured from culinary supply shops as a "cake knife".

And, OBTW, the biggest flaw I found in the original rendering (ahead of lack of texture) was that the cheesecake filling was translucent rather than opaque.
