The best wire cake testers have thin metal wires with loops at the end and make only a small hole in a cake when you use them to test for doneness. These can be found at Parrish Magic Line (see Equipment Sources). Wooden toothpicks are fine to use for some cakes as long as you remove the cake when just a few crumbs cling to them. I recommend them over the wire testers for a few recipes that require longer baking and where you do want the toothpick to come out clean to indicate doneness.
