Since
most normal people take their desserts very seriously, a lot of
pressure comes with cutting a cake. Some cake eaters specifically
request edge pieces because they're icing fiends, while others ask for
"just a small slice." If you're the one with the knife, the
responsibility of getting everyone what they want falls on your
shoulders. To avoid such a burden, you could make a policy that when
it's your celebration, you're not in charge of cake cutting. That's
effective and most good friends will respect the rule, but it's not
full-proof. So, for those occasions when you can't wriggle your way out
of cutting the cake, there is one hack you really need to have in your
back pocket.

We were just introduced to a genius cake cutting technique utilized by the Australian baker Katherine Sabbath. According to Delish,
Sabbath is known for her neon cakes and contributed to making the
unicorn food trend what it is today. The baker is constantly sharing
photos of her completed colorful treats and videos of how they're made
on Instagram, but recently, she shared a different perspective.
First,
Sabbath shared two photos of a massive cake she made for a tea party
with her gal pals. The "whopper," as she called it was made with layers
of chocolate mud cake, raspberries, and vanilla bean Swiss meringue
buttercream. The rainbow-colored cake looked totally enticing, but given
its size and the meringue kisses covering the top, it also seemed like
it would be quite difficult to cut. Sabbath let her followers in on the
secret to that part of enjoying the cake.

The
baker posted a video of her friend cutting the cake, and it's a
different approach than we've seen before. She begins by slicing the
cake horizontally, and then lays the long slice down on a cutting board.
After that, she cuts the giant slice into ten smaller strips and plates
them. It's that easy. In her caption, Sabbath explains, "A fine example
of how to cut my whopper of a cake into responsible servings! The best
thing about this is, you can always go back for seconds or thirds."
Watch and learn how to get equal cuts every time. Once you cut the cake
like this, leave it up to others to figure out which pieces they want.
