Cake cutting tips



Cake cutting tips:

Heat a knife first before cutting a cake for crumble-free slices. To heat the knife, you can run the knife under very hot water then wipe dry with a clean towel.



Use unwaxed dental floss to slice through the cake ( great for the gooey or sticky cakes).


Alternately refrigerate the cake in mid zone of the fridge for a couple of hours and then slice them normally.
