Cutting a wedding or luxurious celebration cake to get the most out of it is slightly different to cutting indulgent style wedges.
While we love a wedge of cake at the Vanilla Pod Bakery, we work with industry standard cake sizes, so you can maximum size the number of portions for your mouth-watering birthday cake.
Professional UK cake makers and caterers tend to work with 1”x1” x height of your cake for wonderful finger portions and 1”x2” x height of your cake for delicious dessert portions.
I advise cutting finger portions for when you are serving the cake as the added extra and going with dessert portions, when you are serving it as dessert.

Step 1: Using a sharp knife move it 1" from the cakes outer edge and cut vertically.
Step 2: Gently place this strip of cake on a chopping board and horizontally portion into 1" or 2" slices.
Step 3: Repeat the above process until all the cake is cut.
Bonus tip - To achieve a professional finish wipe your knife clean after every cut.
Once the cake is cut place the portions of cake on a plate and cover with fold wrap or a cake cover until ready to eat. It is extremely important to keep the cake covered until needed to avoid the cake drying in the air.
