This is not really a decorating question but a slicing question. I am in the process of starting a small cake business and I have an opportunity to provide cakes to a very popular and busy coffee / wine cafe. They are currently serving cheese cakes and want to add layers cakes to their menu. Three layer German Chocolate, Italian Cream, Carrot and Red Velvet for starters. They have asked for the cakes to be pre-sliced for ease of serving. ANY IDEAS on achieving this without smearing the icing throughtout the cake and the cake still be presentable? I have thought of refridgerating the cake prior to slicing so this will firm up the layers and icing as well. Any thoughts or ideas on this would be appreciated and I will return with results for others to use. THANKS !!!!!!!
run your slicer under hot water and slice across the whole cake at a time.
Take knife out, clean and wipe and run under hot water again.
That's the only way to keep your slices neat-ish..
Could you use a leveler to slice the cakes? For example, place the "cutter part", for lack of a better word, on the lowest position possible and push down. Kind of like cutting a cheesecake with dental floss. This way you have nice even cuts on your slices on the whole cake.
Dental floss!! Really? I never would have thought of that. I learn so many amazing things on this site!!!
