It's not as easy as you might think.
Often, to keep the cake from "crumbling" and falling down, a piece of hard cardboard is actually placed on top of the cake and then the frosting is placed on top of that. So if you cut straight down on the cake, you won't be able to cut it because the cardboard is in the way! Bet you never thought of that, now did you?
So to cut your cake, it's best to put your knife just under the cardboard top layer and then slice.
Check out the first photo. See those light colored purple "flowers" on top of the cake? Just place your knife just about 1/8" below the top layer, push the knife in and then cut the cake. Do that a second time to cut a slice out and then use your spatula and ease out the cake slice.
Put the cake on a plate and from there, it's up to you! Most people are conservative and just feed each other. But some couples get a little... "creative" shall we say... and then it just becomes a big mess!
Fun times!

I recently had a wedding where the bride and groom tried to cut the cake but hit the cardboard instead.
The groom's comment was classic, "This is the HARDEST cake in the world!"
I loved it!
So I reminded him of the cardboard and all was well when he slid the knife under it.

I just had yet ANOTHER groom recently say the same thing, "This is the HARDEST cake in the world!"
Seems my grooms don't read my blog as often as they should! :)
