Cut the cake down the center once. Then cut it down the center again at a perpendicular angle from the first cut.
Now you have 4 equal size and shape pieces. Take the pieces and line them all up in a row with each center angle point touching the center of the arc of the next slice of cake. Then cut down the center of each piece in one long continuous cut.
There you have it. 8 equal size and shape pieces.
Make 2 vertical cuts to make 4 equal sections, and then slice horizontally through the middle of the cake.
You cut the cake twice to make four pieces (quarters) then you cut it across, doubling the pieces you have to 8.
Firstly cut the cake in half horizontally.
Then cut it into quarters vertically.
Then cut it as if you were turning it into a sandwich cake

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).
Cutting a cake into 16 pieces with 5 cuts?
You can cut a cake into 16 pieces with 5 cuts by first making a cross-shaped cut dividing the cake into four equal pieces, then cut each of the four pieces in half horizontally and vertically with the last cut.
How can you cut a round cake into 8 equal slices using only 3 cuts?
Takes the CakeHere are the steps involved:Cut from 12 o'clock to 6 o'clock (this give you 2 pieces).Cut from 9 o'clock to 3 o'clock (this give you 4 pieces).Cut the cake in half horizontally, slicing through all the pieces. Imagine that you were cutting through the whole cake to put icing in the middle (this give you 8 pieces).
Can you cut a cake into 9 equal pieces using only 3 cuts?
Lets use a square cake to make the instructions easier. Cut one: Make cut parallel to top of cake giving two cake layers Cut two: Diagonally corner to corner Cut three: Diagonally other corner to corner
How do you cut a cake into eight pieces with only three cuts?
1. cut the cake in half horizontally so it has 2 tiers (2 circular cakes sitting on top of each other) 2. cut the cake in half vertically so you have 2 semicircles on each layer 3 cut the 2 semicircles in half so you have 2 tiers each cut into 4 pieces.
How do you cut a cake into 16 pieces using 5 cuts and no horizontal cuts?
To cut a cake into 16 pieces using 5 cuts and no horizontal cuts, you would first make two vertical cuts to divide the cake into quarters. Then, stack those quarters on top of each other and make a single vertical cut through the center. Finally, separate the stacked halves and make two more vertical cuts to divide each half into four equal pieces, resulting in a total of 16 pieces.

How can you cut a rectangular cake into 8 equal parts with only 3 cuts?
-- Adjust the direction of the knife so that it's parallel to the length of the cake,and cut (1) the cake down the middle ... 2 equal pieces.-- Turn the knife 90 degrees so that it's parallel to the width of the cake,and cut (2) the cake down the middle ... 4 equal pieces.-- Stack the 4 equal pieces in an even stack, so that their edges all line up.Cut (3) the stack in two equal pieces, either length-wise, width-wise, oralong either diagonal ... 8 equal pieces.Alternate method for any one of the cuts described above, (1) or (2) or (3):-- Turn the knife so that the blade is parallel to the cake-board and half ofthe height of the cake above the board. Slice through the height of the cake,keeping the knife parallel to the cake's bottom surface, to its top surface andto the cake-board, cutting the whole cake into an upper layer and a lower layerof equal thickness.
How do you cut three bananas into nine pieces by only three cuts?

How can you cut a cake into 7 equal pieces making only 3 straight cuts?
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!
