Introduction

A round cake is a classic shape for any special occasion. When it comes to cutting and serving a round cake, there are a few things you need to keep in mind. In this guide, we’ll show you how to cut and serve a round cake like a pro!

First, you’ll need to figure out how many slices you want to cut. A good rule of thumb is to slice the cake into wedges that are about 1 inch wide at the base. If you’re serving a large group, you may want to cut the wedges in half so that everyone can have a piece.

Once you’ve decided how many slices you want to cut, it’s time to start cutting! Using a sharp knife start at the outer edge of the cake and make your way in towards the center, slicing as evenly as possible. If you’re having trouble getting evenly-sliced pieces, try using a serrated knife or a cake leveler.

Once you’ve sliced the cake into wedges, it’s time to serve! Serve each slice with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream, and enjoy!

What You Need

To cut a round cake, you will need the following:
-A cake
-A sharp knife
-A cutting board
-A plate or other flat surface to put the cake on

##Instructions:
1. Place the cake on the cutting board
2. Using the sharp knife cut the cake into quarters.
3. Cut each quarter of the cake into thirds, making 12 wedges total.
4. Serve each wedge of cake on a plate or other flat surface.

Preparation

Before cutting the cake, it’s important to have the right tools. You’ll need a serrated knife and a cake turntable. A cake leveler is also helpful, but not required.

Place the cake on the turntable. If using a cake leveler, level the cake before proceeding.

Cutting the Cake

Place the cake on a rotating cake stand. If you do not have a rotating cake stand, place the cake on a flat surface and rotate it while you are cutting it. Using a long, serrated knife, cut the cake into even slices, angling the knife slightly so that each slice is a little larger than the one before it. Wipe the knife clean between each cut.

Serving the Cake

To serve the cake, use a sharp knife to cut slices that are about 1” thick. Start at the outside edge of the cake and work your way in, sawing back and forth with a gentle sawing motion until you reach the center. If you need to, you can use a plate or cake server to help lift the slices out.
