Cake Sizes
Step 1

  • 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

Step 2

  • 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

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
