Raisin bread, fruit cake, and other sugary bakery products are sliced by applying a film of moisture continuously to a slicing blade and traversing the products and the blade relative to each other in a cutting path. The moisture film may be applied by subjecting the blade to an aqueous mist or by directing against the blade a spray of steam. In the latter case, a sufficient temperature differential is maintained between the blade and steam to cause the steam to condense on the blade, thereby producing the desired moisture film.
