A Sweet Slice...


of advice of course!

If you deal with cakes a lot, this will definitely come in handy. My mom's newest hobby is baking cakes, which means every weekend turns into a cake tasting at my parent's house.


This takes some prep work but is well worth it when you find yourself never having to struggle with cutting a piece of cake again.

You'll need parchment/wax paper for this trick.

*Cut pieces of parchment into strips and divide each strip into two.

*Once the cake is fully iced, begin cutting slices. In essence, when you're done, you'll have pre-cut slices ready to serve (imagine how cheesecake's are presented when pre-cut)

* Slip pieces of parchment in between each slice. You should then have a piece of parchment running through each cut that was made with your knife.

Viola! You're done. No need to struggle with cake falling over or getting too dry on the one side that was exposed to air for too long. This will ensure both sides of your cake slices stay fresh!
