Divide The Cake Base – This Trick Works

Divide the cake base: the solution is a simple trick

To divide a cake base, you only need toothpicks and a thick piece of twine.

1. Insert the toothpicks into the base of the cake from all around and from the side. They should all be level so you get a straight cut. You can see the location of the toothpicks on the graphic above this section.
2. Then cut enough thread to easily get around the bottom.
3. You should have a little more thread so that you can tighten it properly.
4. Now lay the twine over the toothpicks and once around the cake base.
5. Then pretend you want to tie a knot in the twine and pull it through the bottom. So he is cut along the toothpicks.
