CAKE CUTTING GUIDE
A quick simple step by step to cutting our tall cakes
This applies to our standard, 3 layer, cakes and our low, two layer, cakes.
For two layer cakes, just skip step 3
You will need:
-
A chopping/cutting board
-
A large sharp knife
Identify your cake size
Grid sizes are all based on cutting your cake into a 1" x 2" (2.5cm x 5cm) piece
-
Cut your first slice 5cm (2 inches) from the edge of the cake.
-
Hold your board on its side, next to the side where you are cutting.
-
Once cut through gently lean the first slice over onto the board and place down on the bench or table
-
Cut the slice into long rectangular pieces, approximately 2.5cm (1 inch) wide
-
This portion is a Dessert Portion
-
If you are wanting Coffee portions follow on to step 3
-
For a Coffee Portion (this is the most common serving size), cut each piece in half through the middle - as illustrated
-
For Bite Sized Portions, cut each layer into a piece
