This Ingenious Cake Cutting Hack Makes Serving Slices 1,000x Easier
Whether it’s Whole Foods’ famous Chantilly cake or a homemade rich chocolate one, you’ll want to take the proper steps to serve it so you don’t ruin your special dessert. Every year, someone comes up with a new rule for cutting a cake, such as paying attention to the angle at which you slice it or using a wine glass to get your pieces. Recently, a creator came up with a new hack for dishing up the most uniform cake slices, and people on the internet are obsessed.
The viral hack — the Instagram clip demonstrating this tutorial racked up nearly 34.9 million views — involves cutting the cake in half and carving 12 slices on each side.
What’s so special about this hack is that you’ll end up with uniform cake slices and minimize the crumbs from pulling out individual pieces. Plus, with a simple 9-inch round, you can yield nearly 24 pieces from one cake. While these slices may be smaller, mainly if you serve adults, they’re ideal for kids’ parties.
This viral clip is controversial, and people raced to the comments to share their thoughts. One person said, “If you give me a slice that small, I am taking my gift back!” While another user mentioned, “Please don’t serve me a slither of cake. Thanks.”
While other people are obsessed with this idea, one user called the hack “brilliant,” while another said that this cake-cutting technique is a “great idea.”
While this cake-serving hack might not suit an adult-friendly party you’re hosting since the slices come out so tiny, it’s ideal for a birthday celebration with toddlers who would benefit from smaller pieces. That way you can serve your children or nephews a delicious red velvet or banana pudding cake without them having a major sugar rush.
