Janeration Personal it’s a wedding cake though. it’s important to make it look the slightest bit appealing. that just looks like a whole bunch of shit. i’d be pissed if that was what my cake slices looked like lol

lylah morris then it sounds like you have more issues than just how a cake is sliced

MDNA HOLIDAY alright, what are those issues? lol

I thought it was gonna be bad based on comments then watched the video and was like “ugh what’s the problem?” So many people in the comment section are dramatic af

you obviously don't work in the industry. Brides and groom can be sloppy with how THEY cut their cake to eat but when you're serving you better make sure you're professional. Wedding cakes are expensive AF and a lot goes into making it. Cutting it precisely and cleanly is not only good for presentation but also makes sure that the right amount is given to all the guests. How a cake is cut and presented by the kitchen speaks volume on how these workers are trained.

😅

I'm from Europe too and I have never seen that either.

Yup it's pretty standard here if the reception is in a wedding hall. Most are also trained to follow the Wilton cake cutting but unfortunately not all are clean. Also, some brides opt for sheet cakes to save $ and have cake dummies with just one real cake layer to cut with the groom.

Felix Rubenbauer Yes Sir!!!! 🙅🙅🙅🙅

I hate cutting the cake with onlookers. I wish I always had a place to wheel the cake into and just get it done. But you don't always have that convenience when catering! I find every baker has different methods of assembly, too. It's a little crazy when you first begin, and you've got an audience. I keep several knives in hot water nearby to avoid the crumb issue, with damp towel over my wrist. It's an art. LOL.

I’m in the USA and been to a lot of weddings and have never seen the cake removed from the reception for cutting. It works but it’s NOT standard in the USA.

yup, if its not properly sliced then they might not have enough cake for everyone.

Ever heard of a thing called "Pride"?

@@DomesticDave yes and pretension

meerkat812 what!?

MissLittleTee You don't have to say Gods name in vain. Also I would advise if you ever have a wedding this size. Have a fake cake made for looks. Then have your cake pre sliced. You can't wipe your knife 300 times and wow if you have 10,000 guest wedding. You can only accomplish this, with the cake being real if you have a preheated box keeping knives warm and ready to cut. With as many knives as cake slices. It would take 2 hours or more to cut the cake as you vision. This just isn't possible at a wedding. I advise a fake cake made for looks. Then a cake pre cut for each guest.. You can have all time needed to wipe your knife & stick it in hot water then cut all the pieces for each guest. This is not possible any other way.. I really hope you are kidding & joking around. If not you would have guest leaving as people are still being served lol.. Really??? 300 guest not 25 You would need about 300 preheated knifes. That knife would have to melt through each piece..

Why do you care?

Agree!

I call ‘baloney’on your post. That’s not what Brides of the type to use a service, as shown.

You cut it horizontal vertical then make a cross... .. .. ... .... I think

It’s sliced similarly and devoured.

I concur, I've watched a ton of cake cutting videos now, and even just with demonstration cakes they take all the measures to ensure a beautiful presentation. Very unprofessional.

This looks like the way I cut & served a wedding cake the very FIRST time I ever cut one. (Without instruction) Pretty bad girls, pretty bad.

Would you wipe the knife 300 times yourself just to make some stupid icing look neater.. Grow up

jordandlugosch No way you could sit a wipe a knife 300 or more times..That is a joke lol.. If you that worried you should keep about 50 knives on hand in a hot container. So you can have your silky cuts lol This is a joke..lol you must cut cake at home.. And if you knew about cakes the knife you use, is about if not the same one you use to frost a cake lol.. You guys are so funny. People would be mad waiting on you.. Couldn't imagine if you was cutting a wedding cake for 10,000 guest it does happen. Going by your directions we would need at least 5 hours to cut cake. Your comment makes me cringe.

JesusMessiah IsComing it takes maybe a second to wipe a knife, you act like it’s some everlasting task to wipe a fucking knife on a towel. And as you can see, it’s for 300 people and they showed 3 people working on it already. If you had cake for 10,000 people, there would be a metric butt ton of people cutting the cake. And the point is not that wiping the knife would make perfect smooth slices, but it would make the cuts less sloppy and the end result would be better.

Cake =$$$ No nothing is “thrown away.” It’s cut in slices similar in size and devoured just as quickly as the outer circle. There are other methods than the circle in a circle method. I favor Ron Ben Iisreal’s method.

Return them to the bakery

Susan Cardoso i think they have to work fast so that the guests wont have to wait longuer but i am sure the plates will be cleaned before being surved.

Charisse Yee I would agree if it was a nursery or school they were serving but I would hope at a wedding the guest would be a little more mature. It would also allow people who don't like to over indulge a choice of choosing a smaller serving.

Are people that petty? Who would hold a grudge about the size of a slice of cake?

Pauline Geraghty get married and ull find out.its about respect for the bride and groom serving shitty cuts and dirty plates is disrespectful to the bride and groom who just forked out several thousands of dollars on there wedding

+Pauline Geraghty I would

Hubby Wifey People people this is not a home cake lol. You can not wipe a knife for a party this large or larger. Its ok if you don't preheat your knifes before hand. Or stick it each time in hot water. This is not a small wedding no way you could pull off what you guys are thinking. You have to cut it fast everyone wants cake at the same time. Its not like you can precut the cake in advance. This should not even be considered, unless you have a fake cake made for looks. Then one pre cut for guest. This just isn't a option. You have to be in real time.

Hubby Wifey that's all you could think to say. It's cake, cake comes with crumbs. You've been looking at too many magazines.

Yeah right! and you could do better..!!!!..serving 300 people in a next to nothing time frame. Well done cakers.

Joe Sullivan it's about respect smart one.how would u feel if I cut ur wedding cake and had half slices of cake and rest crumbs and icing everywhere. After u just paid several hundred on a cake. I'm sure ur bride wouldn't be very happy. And yes I can cut cake i used to cater for weddings.

We don't care about the crumbs but they should wipe the knife between each cuts or it'll look sloppy. (Also that blunt butter knife is no tool for cutting cakes).

exactly, what do you know, you've never worked in a kitchen

But it IS for display. It is a wedding cake. Each aspect is a ‘show.’

😂😂😂👍🏻

Wedding cake slices are much smaller cuts. Each slice is $2.50-3.00 per slice to cut, and when you have hundreds of people to serve it adds up.

Where are you buying a wedding cake at $3.00 per slice. In 1982 I sold cake at near that price. But, sadly, no longer.

leopardsita Or more depending on the Caterer 👰🎂👰🎂👰

Horrendous trabajó
