Do you know how to cut a wedding cake? Or any round cake for that matter?
I’ll teach you.
1. If the cake is multiple tiers, you must separate them. This is easily done with a couple cake servers and extra pair of hands. Place each tier on its own cutting surface, so you can slice them separately.
2. Using a long, smooth knife, cut a circle in the middle of the tier {the dashed line}.
3. Then cut slices up to that inner circle. Each slice should be about the width of your finger.
You’ll be left with a cylinder of cake in the middle.
Of course you can cut & serve the center just like you did the outer ring.
Or you could hoard it for yourself to devour with a fork and gallon of milk.
I would know nothing of that last option. Nothing at all.
As promised, here are some pics of my cake stand in action from Saturday’s wedding.
Unfortunately, the cake came on a huge silver SQUARE board.
SQUARE?!?! WTF?!
Oh well. It provided the perfect place to put the cake topper that was to big for the cake top.
And the stand looked super cute when the cake was taken away to be cut & served.
And yes, those are Tastykake Butterscotch Krimpet favors {my other gift to the bride, as they’re her absolute fave}.
