Sharing a cake is a task from the series: "We shared an orange, a lot of us, and he is one." Especially if there are children at the table. Someone will get a lesser piece, and someone too heavy. Sweet tooth can be very offended. Therefore, to divide the cake equally into 8 people is an honorable and responsible work, and it must be done correctly and honestly! So, here is a big, fresh, amazingly beautiful round cake.

Instruction manual
1
Gently place the cake on a plate, since it is quite inconvenient to cut it into equal parts in a store box.
2
Take the sharpest long knife so as not to smear the cream. Imagine a cake is the dial of a watch dial. We cut it exactly in half along the line from 12 to 6 hours (vertically). It turns out 2 parts.
3
Then we cut it from 9 to 3 hours (horizontally), which gives us 4 equal parts of the cake.
4
Now we cut each of the 4 parts in half, strictly into two parts. As a result, we will face a cake cut into 8 equal triangular parts.
5
The cake can be handed out to everyone who was looking forward to their piece.
Useful advice
To cut the cake into neat pieces, heat the knife in hot water before you start cutting.
Multi-tiered wedding cakes are cut according to the same principle of the dial, but each smaller tier should be cut into fewer pieces: the lower - into 8 pieces, the middle - into 6, the upper, the smallest - into 4 pieces.
