Going Viral: We’ve Been Cutting Cake Wrong

Published on

You will never cut a cake the same way again after hearing about this ingenious method.

I recently had my son’s 2nd birthday party and let me tell you – it’s nerve-wrecking having to cut cake fast enough for greedy little cake gobbling toddlers. If you’re not fast enough there are little fingers that start poking in!

Anyone who’s ever been in the unlucky position of being the person to cut up a cake at a party, listen up: There’s a simple new technique out there that you need to commit to memory, now.

Australian self-taught baker and blogger Katherine Sabbath: Using no more than a knife and a cutting board, she is able to deftly slice a cake into basically 10 even servings at once.

She posted a video on her Instagram account and people can’t stop watching it, which is probably why the mesmerizing video has racked up over 28 000 likes and more than 1.5 million views on Instagram.

She showed the technique on a round layer cake — you know, the kind that the rest of usually try to turn into triangle-sliced wedges. Well, apparently, we were doing it all wrong: The key is to make rectangular slices out of a round cake, which result in a reasonable serving, plus more cake slices for everyone. Win win!
