Cake Cutting Guide

By keeping your cake in the fridge before cutting, you'll get a nice clean cut and much neater pieces.

Remove all non-edible decorations before cutting.

Cut a slice off the side of the cake, straight down to the board.

Cut this piece into 3-4 vertical strips. 

If serving adults (or just want a good portion of cake!), you can skip to step 5.

These are known as 'dessert portions'.

*Optional* 

This is best suited to children's parties or occasions where you want your cake stretch further. 

Cut each vertical strip through the middle; this will double your portions and is known as a 'finger portion'.

Repeat this method of cutting vertical slices until all the cake is cut.

Time to enjoy!

This cake has been cut into 'finger portions' (step 4) and produced 30 slices. If you wanted to have bigger portions (step 3), it would serve 15.
