1) One vertical cut in half.2) A second vertical cut at 90 degrees to the previous one. You should now have 4 equal pieces.3) Make a cut parallel to the table, halfway through the cake. Like you are slicing a bagel in half or a subway sandwich. Should now have 8 equal pieces.4) Eat one piece!
How do you cut a cake into 16 pieces using 5 cuts?
Cut a round cake in eight equal sized wedge shaped pieces with four vertical cuts, then make one horizontal cut through the center of the cake to equal sixteen pieces.It's slightly more tricky if you are only allowed to cut the horizontal cross-section of the cake (treat the cake as a circle). In this case, first divide the cake with one cut (2 pieces), then cut it again so that it intersects the first cut (4 pieces), then cut it a third time so that it intersects both cuts previously made, at different points (7 pieces), then let the fourth cut intersect all three cuts so far at different points (11 pieces), and let the fifth and final cut intersect all four cuts at different points (16 pieces total).

What is the purpose of a metal cake breaker?
A cake breaker is a tool that gently separates cake without crushing or compressing it. Cake breakers are used primarily on angel food cakes, and are also useful on very moist or sticky cakes, Bundt cakes, and any layer cake. They can also be used on a flat cake or sheet cake to portion out pieces; after breaking, a knife or cake server is used to easily cut and remove the pieces. Cutting through a line made by a cake breaker is easy and leaves a nice looking edge.

How many times to cut a cubical cake into a maximum of 125 identical piecesif the cake can be cut n times to get minimum of 120 pieces?
In one sense you cannot. The cakes would have a different number of faces which were part of the original faces. To that extent the pieces will not be identical. If such pieces are considered identical, and if the cake pieces can be stacked before cutting, then 9 cuts will suffice. Without stacking, 12 cuts are required. If the cake can be stacked and cut, and a little wastage (less than 2.5%) is pemitted, then 7 cuts will be enough.

How do you slice a 14 inch cake?
Any square or rectangle cake should be sliced straight across the cake from side to side to produce square or rectangle pieces. A nice variation is to slice the cake diagonally to produce diamond-shaped pieces. > A 14" ROUND cake can be cut in concentric circles working from the outside inward. First cut an 8" circle, centered on the cake and about 3" in from the outside. An 8" cardboard circle or a plate may be used as a guide. Cut slices from this outer circle as you would on a smaller cake; each slice will have a portion of the frosting. You now have an 8" cake remaining which can also be sliced as you would any round cake. > A 14" ROUND cake can also be cut directly side to side. Most of the slices will be squares or rectangles, but there will also be a number of irregular pieces that can be set aside or given to children as treats.
