Everybody cuts a round cake the same way, right? You slice out a v-shaped wedge, the same shape as a slice of pizza or a piece of pie, and you serve it up. Isn't that the way to do it?
Well, maybe not. Lots of people, including chefs and even mathematicians, have devised what they consider to be more efficient ways to cut a cake. Especially if someone only wants a small slice. They even claim your cake will stay fresher with these cutting methods. So what are these magical cake-cutting techniques? Watch and find out how you've been cutting cake wrong your entire life.

Strongly disagree, the traditional wedge cut is superior. The long slice cut into smaller slices means that the edges get more frosting than the middle parts. The V cut ensures an even distribution of all contents for all slices. If the cake's consistency makes it hard to cut thin slices, that other method would probably be difficult to execute too.

@catlady8324 5 месяцев назад

I strongly agree with your strong disagreement!

What are cake leftovers? Never heard of them

@rebecca60172 2 года назад

Agreed.

@ashleyw8526 3 года назад

Put a slice of bread on any part of the cake that’s exposed and secure with a toothpick! It keeps it fresh for days! And if you are displaying your cake turn the cake to the uncut side to keep the appearance of a fresh cake!

@gwyn9846 3 года назад

That's brilliant! Thanks for the information.

@madonna816 3 года назад

Mashing two halves of a frosted cake together looks easy when animated, but that’s not how it’s gonna go in practice irl, as lovely as the idea sounds.

@chocolatesouljah Год назад

Agreed. Sounds like the esteemed Mr. Galton, 2:15 never baked a cake or had to be in charge of pushing those pieces together. That's an issue that might require input from an engineer.

@seangonzalez9025 3 года назад

I run the knife under some hot water making the knife a bit hot and it makes the cut go through a lot smoother. Same with running hot water on a ice cream scooper to make it easier to scoop smoothly

After this video I still don’t know how to cut a cake lol

@JohannaObandoFonseca 3 года назад

I would feel embarrassed to serve those tiny slices of cake to my guests 😕

@jennifermcguire8867 3 года назад

Agreed !

@amandamoore7518 2 года назад

Yet.... you could use the method and just make the portions larger to your preference. How is that not obvious?

@ZarathrustaTate 2 года назад

jesus just cut it bigger wtf hahshahshahahahs

@DelliHopp Год назад

Do you only allow one slice per person? They can have more than one slice. That’s explained in the video.

@tippy651 Год назад

If they want more they can just come back for seconds.

@postmodernrecycler 3 года назад

I once cut a cake like this and people went ballistic.

@genxx2724 2 года назад

But how did the slices turn out?

@QueenSchatz Год назад

@@genxx2724 A girl cut a cake like this at her bday party recently. Honestly the cake tasted kinda weird (I had cake from this bakery before so it's not the bakery). I could go into long details about it, but keeping it short.. don't do this to you guests.

@juliancisthebest 3 года назад

The cutting board method is cool, but those slices are too small in my opinion

3:30 Wrapping the cake in rubber band is pretty disgusting tho.

@KreeZafi 2 года назад

And also you need one hell of a hard cake for that to work, with normal cakes the rubber band would just push into the cake

@lindsaykarashay3648 3 года назад

The cutting board method creates uneven frosting distribution for the round cake when it didn't have to be that way. You obviously can't avoid that with larger cakes. And how does the typical wedge cut give people "too much, or too little frosting"? Sorry, this whole video was stupid.

@genxx2724 2 года назад

It can’t be avoided with rectangular or sheet cakes, or huge round cakes.

@tippy651 Год назад

How do I get that first middle slice out without dropping it?

@latoyahogan8428 2 года назад

I think I like that cut cutting board method I am going to try that tomorrow. 🤔

@zahedah80 Год назад

This ruins the entire design on the cake

@pxnx 3 года назад

People won't always get the border then. With Rührteig this part is pretty neat.

This is nothing new caterers have been doing this for years ,at weddings, anniversary parties anywhere there’s a large or even a small cake.😊

@AlCatrraz 2 года назад

Best way to keep the cake fresh.... eat it same day you baked it ! BUT... you cannot EAT THE CAKE and HAVE IT TOO! And that's the CORRECT way of the quote.... Because it is possible TO HAVE THE CAKE and THEN EAT IT TOO!

@genxx2724 2 года назад

I think it means the same thing either way, because it’s an action being considered, not already done. If you keep it, you don’t enjoy the eating; and if you eat it, you don’t have it anymore. It’s like saying you can’t save your money and spend it, too. Doesn’t matter which way it’s stated. I never understood the expression. Recently I put my embarrassment aside and someone explained it.

@AlCatrraz 2 года назад

@@genxx2724 Not really.... The order of the ACTION IS IMPORTANT- for the LOGICAL MINDED ! You can SAVE MONEY and THEN SPEND IT... but you CANNOT SPEND IT and then SAVE IT! There is a tendency in American English to DISTORT the original ENGLISH... ASS instead of ARSE ALUMINUM instead of ALUMINIUM NARSISISM (pronouncing spelling) instead of NARKISISM EXCETERA instead of ETCETERA.. Etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.... Best to you

@lesreed8803 Год назад

If you slice the cake in the center twice and fly the outside half together it will preserve the moisture in the cake slide them together it fills the air off good grief and I am not Charlie Brown but I'm a brown guy haha

@crisian8213 2 года назад

What they do not tell you is if you cut your cake like this (from the center) and put both ends together to keep it from drying out, the cake will melt and fall apart at room temperature. It is better to cut it in triangle shape if you plan on leaving it out.
