Someone who is ordering a cake from me said she had bought a precut cake at a bakery before. Does anyone do this or know how it is done?

1. why in the world . . . .
2. just mark and/or cut it, but again, that brings me back to number 1.

When I do this, I crumb coat it, let set. Cut it then crumb coat again. Then final coat of icing. The crumb coat is very thin. When I cut I us dental floss (less crumbs). Also, when I am putting on the final coat of icing I do the sides first. This helps hold it together when you are doing the top. It does take a bit of practice, but once you've done it a few times it is quick and easy.

About 20 years ago a friend ordered a pre cut cake. From what I can remember. the slices were cut in the middle (this was a sheetcake) with about an inch left intact around the cake.

Does she mean something like this cake,.... rather than pre-cut. maybe the slices are allready marked.... that is the only thing that I can imagine. !?!?!?!?

No, she actually means already cut ... so that all she has to do is scoop up a piece of cake.

I've seen them and I can't figure out what the big deal it. I mean, how hard is it to cut a sheet cake for crying out loud?

My very first wedding cake, however, the bride requested pre-cut. She was a little miffed when I set the 3-tier cake up NOT pre-cut and it took some time to explain to her why that was NOT possible!

(Idiot.)

Yeah, it was a bridal shower cake and each square had a decoration in it. I guess the cut marks are covered by icing? I would be afraid the cake would fall off the board!

Thanks for your answers! Hope I never have to do that. I can only imagine the mess of crumbs!
