cake fork

Pastry eating tool

A cake fork is a small fork designed for eating cake and other desserts, typically with three tines and a wider, flattened left tine that can cut through soft pastry.

Part of formal table settings, it's smaller than a dinner fork: The wedding reception table was set with cake forks and dessert spoons.
