Not only do people buy a whole cake to cut up when they need to celebrate such as birthdays, but they also buy it to share with family and friends when they are hungry. However, if you want to cut the cake into 3, 5, 6 or 7 pieces, you may be a little hesitant to start and worry about whether you can cut it evenly.
First of all, in addition to the knife used to cut the cake, you should also prepare aluminum foil.
Step 1: Tear off a piece of aluminum foil 20cm wide, fold it horizontally once in half and then fold it in half again to form a long strip.
Step 2: Fold the foil in half once, in half a second time, and then a third time in half to make it a small square. When folding, please try to align as much as possible.
Step 3: Open the aluminum foil, there will be many folded lines on it, please fold the aluminum foil into the corresponding shape according to the number of cake pieces you want to cut, for example, if you want to cut 5 pieces, fold the aluminum foil into a pentagonal shape, fold it and fix it with a little tape.
Step 4: Insert 1 toothpick into the front of the cake, and then place the aluminum foil on the cake with the toothpick as the center point.
Step 5: Visually measure the tangent line along each corner of the pentagonal aluminum foil with a toothpick as the center, cut the cake outward from the edge of the aluminum foil with a knife, cut the cake into 5 equal parts, and then remove the aluminum foil.
Step 6: Cut the center of the 5 equal parts that you just cut, and then prepare to eat by cutting the center that was originally surrounded by aluminum foil and did not cut it
In addition to the pentagonal shape, aluminum foil can also be folded into triangles, hexagons, heptagons and other shapes.
