Question 8: How to cut a cake. The most common question is actually very simple. It can be summed up in one sentence: Use different knives to cut different cakes.

So, what kind of cake and what kind of cutter should be used? It can usually be summed up into three situations, let’s talk about them separately below.

The first is the long serrated knife shown in the picture below:

The long serrated knife is the most versatile knife when cutting cakes. Generally speaking, a series of cakes such as chiffon cake, sponge cake, butter cake, etc. are all used for cutting.

The cake has a puffy and relatively soft texture. If you use an ordinary knife to cut directly downwards, the force of the knife will flatten the cake. At the same time, because of the uneven force, it will be difficult to cut the cake neatly. Use a serrated knife to cut the cake into pieces using a "saw" motion, and the problem is easily solved.

In addition, long serrated knives are usually used to cut bread, especially for slicing toast. They are also good at it. It should be noted that toast is very soft when it is freshly baked and is generally difficult to cut into pieces. If you cut it into pieces after being stored for a few hours, it will be cut more neatly.

In addition to chiffon cakes, butter cakes and other major categories of cakes, what knife should be used to cut other cake types? In fact, ordinary knives can do the job. Just like the multi-purpose knife in the picture below:

This type of knife is suitable for cutting heavy cheese cakes (such as chocolate cheese cake), mousse cakes, and rich brownies made with traditional methods, etc.

The internal structure of heavy cheesecake and mousse cake is not as fluffy and porous as ordinary cakes, so you can cut it directly with a knife. But the biggest problem when cutting this kind of cake is that the knife sticks. If you cut it with a knife, the cut surface will often be terrible.

Therefore, when cutting this type of cake, first put the knife on the fire for a while to heat the knife. Cut it while it's hot so the cake won't stick to the knife. After each cut, wipe the knife clean and reheat it before making another cut. You can easily cut the cake into desired portions.

Finally, in some cases, the texture of the cake is relatively loose, or the cake is small, so cutting with an ordinary long serrated knife may still cause the cake to be uneven or crumbled. At this time, you can choose a fine-serrated knife with finer teeth, as shown in the picture below:

Fine-serrated knives are very good at these aspects, and can cut even very small pieces of cake neatly. There's one type of cake it's particularly handy for cutting, and that's light cheesecake. Light cheesecake is also a puffy and porous cake, but it is much moister and more tender than ordinary cakes. It is easy to damage the delicate cake with an ordinary serrated knife, but with a fine serrated knife, there is no need to worry.

Three types of knives

Long serrated knife: suitable for cutting chiffon cakes, sponge cakes, butter cakes and most other cakes.

Multi-purpose knife (or medium knife): suitable for cutting heavy cheesecake, mousse cake, and brownies.

Fine serrated knife: suitable for cutting light cheesecake, loose texture, or smaller cakes.

When cutting the cake, we will also encounter a problem. That is, making a decorated cake often requires cutting the cake into two or three slices crosswise.

How to cut each piece of cake to the same thickness?

Take 8-12 toothpicks and pierce them into the cake at the same height on the side of the cake. Then use a long serrated knife and a toothpick to cut the cake crosswise. The cut cake slices will be very flat and even. The denser the toothpick is, the easier it will be to cut it flat.

Question 10: How about a three-layer cake? How to cut a multi-layer cake
