How to Cut Your Cake (Without the Chaos)

Grab a cutting board and a sharp knife — let’s keep this clean and classy.

1️⃣ Slice straight down the side of your cake and lay that piece on the board.
2️⃣ Cut it lengthwise twice, then across the middle into your perfect-sized servings.
3️⃣ Repeat, plate, and enjoy every bite like the masterpiece it is.

Pick-Up & Transport:
Handle with care, babe! Always lift from the bottom, keep it level, and never stack your cake boxes. In the car, give it a flat, non-slip seat on the floor— no joyrides on bumpy roads, please.

Storage:
Keep your cake cool, covered, and out of the sun’s spotlight. Pop it in the fridge (still in the box) for freshness. If there’s any left — lucky you — seal the rest in an airtight container and let slices sit out 30–60 minutes before serving.

Serving:
Buttercream’s a diva — she likes to stay soft and smooth. Warm your knife in hot water and wipe between slices for those clean, show-off-worthy cuts.

Display:
Show it off but stay smart. Use a sturdy cake stand and avoid leaving it out in the heat too long. We want soft smiles, not soft frosting.
