00:00I'm showing you four easy ways to cut a cake, including my personal favorite.
00:03First, we're going to start with the basic go-to way to cut a cake.
00:05Obviously, there's nothing wrong with this, but most people want a smaller slice.
00:07You do have some smearing from the inner layers of icing.
00:09Now we're going to try the hot knife trick.
00:10Take your knife, run it under some hot water, wipe it off, then cut the cake.
00:13This is supposed to help cut the cake easily without leaving a bunch of icing on the knife.
00:17As you can see, there's cleaner lines of icing between the cake and your knife stays clean.
00:20Now we're going to try the method of cutting away from you.
00:22This helps keep the layers nice and neat as well.
00:23I already don't like this.
00:24It's not bad, it's just a little awkward.
00:26However, our layers are nice and clean.
00:27Now this is my favorite way to cut cake, cut one inch slices all the way across.
00:30This is the perfect size for a birthday party for kids or an adult that doesn't want a full slice.
00:34That way you can just cut and go as you want, you don't have to ruin the whole cake.
00:37You can actually serve more people this way, which is great for the budget.
00:39My two winners are the hot knife and the square cut.
00:41Square cut for birthday parties, hot knife for weddings.
00:43And there you have it, it's a piece of cake.
