Guide to cutting a round cake
This cake guide demonstrates how to achieve the maximum number of slices from your round cake.
Start cutting the largest tier first. This way, if you have any leftover cake, it will be the smaller, easier-to-store tiers. Cut a 2" strip down one side of the cake.
Gently tip the 2" strip of cake onto its side.
Once the 2" strip is on its side, start cutting pieces 1" wide. (A standard wedding cake serving is 1" x 2" x 3.5").
Transfer the cut piece of cake to a plate.
Continue cutting 1" pieces from the 2" strip. When the 2" strip is gone, cut another 2" strip from the remaining cake and repeat the process.
When you get to the last 2" strip, it is strongly recommended that it be placed on it's side for cutting. Since it's the last strip, it doesn't have anything to lean against and it could fall over during the cutting of the last few pieces.
