    What's your favorite kind of cake?

  • @KreeZafi

    Strongly disagree, the traditional wedge cut is superior. The long slice cut into smaller slices means that the edges get more frosting than the middle parts. The V cut ensures an even distribution of all contents for all slices. If the cake's consistency makes it hard to cut thin slices, that other method would probably be difficult to execute too.

    Put a slice of bread on any part of the cake that’s exposed and secure with a toothpick! It keeps it fresh for days! And if you are displaying your cake turn the cake to the uncut side to keep the appearance of a fresh cake!

    Mashing two halves of a frosted cake together looks easy when animated, but that’s not how it’s gonna go in practice irl, as lovely as the idea sounds.

      Agreed. Sounds like the esteemed Mr. Galton, 2:15 never baked a cake or had to be in charge of pushing those pieces together. That's an issue that might require input from an engineer.

    I run the knife under some hot water making the knife a bit hot and it makes the cut go through a lot smoother. Same with running hot water on a ice cream scooper to make it easier to scoop smoothly

  • @crisian8213
    @crisian8213 2 роки тому

    What they do not tell you is if you cut your cake like this (from the center) and put both ends together to keep it from drying out, the cake will melt and fall apart at room temperature. It is better to cut it in triangle shape if you plan on leaving it out.

    • @genxx2724
      @genxx2724 2 роки тому

      I think it means the same thing either way, because it’s an action being considered, not already done. If you keep it, you don’t enjoy the eating; and if you eat it, you don’t have it anymore. It’s like saying you can’t save your money and spend it, too. Doesn’t matter which way it’s stated. I never understood the expression. Recently I put my embarrassment aside and someone explained it.
