How to cut your cake
1 -
Remove all decorations from the cake; including ribbons, toppers and dowels.
Use a serrated knife to cut and make sure you have a chopping board ready to slice on.
2 -
The number of complete cuts you make will depend on the size of the cake.
Work with one full slice at a time and for the purpose of this example, this is a larger slice from the middle of the cake.
3 -
From the curved edge make a straight cut across the cake from one side to the other, approx. 1'' (2.5cm) thick.
4 -
Lie the full slice down flat on a chopping board. Then split the slice in approx. 2'' (5cm - dessert) or 1'' (2.5cm - wedding) portions. Depending on the height of the cake it can be cut in half if needed.
5 -
Repeat this action across each full cake slice until the whole cake has been portioned.
