How to cut a wedding cake at McHale's

[@Abel0179]

Is it weird that I keep watching this video over and over because it relaxes me? The cake looks delicious BTW...

[@godsgift2916]

This is how I learned to cut round cakes. However, I now cut them as if they were square cakes and to me it’s easier versus having to cut that circle. It’s also beneficial if you’re trying to cut smaller pieces.

[@Neliciae]

For people complaining about it being sloppy, if you just saw the bride and groom slice and eat cake you’re thinking i want some too where’s mine. ITS CAKE JUST EAT IT lmao crumbs ain’t gunna hurt ya 😉

[@lylahm4603]

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

[@mdnaholi]

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

[@lylahm4603]

MDNA HOLIDAY alright, what are those issues? lol

[@alyssanicole8559]

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

[@Moss_piglets]

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.

[@MissAshxBashx]

thank you so much. I had a cake cutting class and this was so much easier and through process.

[@carmencastillo9101]

I love watching people slice cakes. Hehe

[@1princess111]

after watching this I am really craving cake.

[@Loulou-sr3tk]

I don’t understand the comments. The way to cut the cakes is ok. They have to serve 300 person, what do you expect: laser cut...

[@brockreynolds870]

When you cut the circle in the smaller layers, you need to put the cake on a revolving cake stand so you can spin the cake, not the knife.... and get it nice and even.

[@almarieryan3214]

This is a fantastic guide. Thank you so much for sharing

[@clairelee7801]

What happens with the middle pieces of cake?

[@sierrajenkins9899]

I thought the cake cutting was perfect. I even learned a thing or two. Nice generous portions.

[@destiniejohnson6921]

Watching cake get cut is just so satisfying.:))

[@lindabillingsley7108]

Excellent details. Thank you very professional

[@sydneyprescott2135]

Phyllis and tiffany are some hardworking people 😉

[@CourageDearHeart316]

3:55 The cake is me when I wake up after 2 hour sleep

[@firdawsiyasaly]

😅

[@drrubi3944]

Just being curious: Is this procedure standard in the US? I've never seen the cake being taken away at a wedding here in Europe (and i attended about 40-45 in several countries). We usually have two staff who cut the cake in front of the people. Buffet style if you want to say so.

[@eleo_b]

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

[@Moss_piglets]

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.

[@patriciabrown8666]

Felix Rubenbauer Yes Sir!!!! 🙅🙅🙅🙅

[@brendagale1791]

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.

[@skyone4950]

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.

[@AlexisGonzalez-pn3yx]

People act like they can cut it better without crumbs like stop lieing u know you would eat it cake is cake

[@islandgirl3330]

Thanks for this demonstration.

[@MsJuicy31783]

Why did I just watch this

[@dkland1980]

That cake looks delicious

[@Mrs.buildingblackwealth]

Great narration! Good job!

[@kingjdmi344]

Great cutting and serving.

[@jessicavazquez2829]

Nicely done

[@Liz21988]

This was helpful! Thanks

[@patriciabrown8666]

This couple had alot of guests they paid 💰💰💰 for this 👰🎂👰🎂

[@charyd76]

Very professional!

[@THETRAVELRANGERUK]

So what would you do with the centre part???? 😉

[@Jalyced22]

It’s sliced similarly and devoured.

[@Suzee46]

Thank you for making an intimidating procedure look so easy!! Nice job!!

[@dkland1980]

how do you slice/serve the cake with a big ring hole in it.

[@moonowl4912]

Excellent work.

[@meerkat812]

Where can I get the stainless steel rings that evenly hold up each higher tier? Thanks!

[@susmitasanimeworld7070]

meerkat812 what!?

[@golkiwi8783]

*what about the imaginary circle in the middle how u cut it nice & even*

[@CourageDearHeart316]

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

[@susandhifaoui]

dang, what a bunch of cake cutting snoots in the comments. It's cake, for goodness sake, and when you look at it once it is sliced on the plate, it looks like....well, a slice of cake, period. interesting video to watch. I'd love a slice of that bourbon cake! looked yummy.

[@DomesticDave]

Ever heard of a thing called "Pride"?

[@susandhifaoui]

@@DomesticDave yes and pretension

[@jenettguerrero9120]

THANK YOU so much, for sharing this video..you don't know how much this video helps me.👍👍👍

[@leopardsita]

thank you so much I really needed this

[@meganfisher831]

Incredible, thank you very much.

[@alyssanicole8559]

I read comments before watching and was thinking it was gonna be bad... damn some of y’all are so damn dramatic!

[@KH-le6kt]

Love this video

[@dicasdemamae5466]

adorei muito bom obg por gravar, continue gravando porfavor 😘

[@laceypennies]

Very cool. Thank you for sharing.

[@kristybear100]

What happens to the center of the cake? Is it cut into small squares or is it just thrown away?

[@Jalyced22]

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.

[@sophiakennett6867]

Wow. I had no idea how many details went into the cake slicing process! So interesting....

[@Moss_piglets]

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

[@AmelZubeidy]

thank you very much, it is very useful.

[@JadaCol]

What if you ll cut to much cake

[@udayamanikkaratnam8822]

Very good

[@charisseyee]

The groom's cake was horribly cut. It's not even, they should have used a small bowl to dent a line for cutting. Imagine some of the guest eating that cake, the first half is smaller than the latter half, someone would hold a grudge.

[@bonnienash8585]

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.

[@paulinegeraghty9029]

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

[@Nick-kc9nf]

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

[@beautifulwoman6376]

+Pauline Geraghty I would

[@anngroliagrolia5796]

Very nice

[@SeymourKitty]

Philip or Phyllis?

[@jordandlugosch3995]

I cringe when i watch this video! The way the cake is being cut with incorrect and blunt knives. Not to mention that the blade is not even wiped between cuts leaving the icing looking sloppy. The presentation of the individual plates to the guests would feel more like a 6 year old's birthday party rather than an elegant wedding. Sorry to say, but if I saw you cutting my expensive wedding cake like that and serving my guests morsels that look like it was picked up from the floor, I would immediatly flip my lid and demand a venue refund!

[@mandiemah109]

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.

[@brendagale1791]

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.

[@eman8459]

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

[@putjesusfirst9217]

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.

[@Idkprobablyyeet]

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.

[@rauda3070]

I would hate my job smh..

[@MissLittleTee]

You can't just hack a rough circle into a wedding cake or use serrated knifes crumbs everywhere!! Christ if I sliced cake like that when I worked in nurseries I would have felt embarrassed and they eat with their hands! Definitely gonna cut my brothers wedding cake myself after watching this!

[@putjesusfirst9217]

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..

[@Brynwyn123]

Why do you care?

[@salmighazali917]

Agree!

[@Jalyced22]

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

[@consedracooks2419]

Thank you for this video !

[@faithafterdark7801]

I've never once worked in a kitchen, but if I did I'd stand over them and ask them if they're feeding a bunch of blind rabbits. Very unprofessionally done. They should be cutting even slices and at least wiping the knives now and then, and maybe trying to make a neat circle instead of hacking into it with no concern for what it looks like. But what do I know?

[@nonamehi]

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

[@misswong8935]

Yummy

[@susancardoso4364]

No hate... cleaver but very messy

[@ilhambouiti4587]

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.

[@angelicav8781]

Nice now I know. Thanks.

[@mermer58]

This is nice, BUT I'll be cutting and serving the entire cake at the cake table while everyone is watching me so I don't have the luxury of taking the cake to another room for disassembly. In the old days, we removed the top tier and set it aside for the mother of the bride to freeze, then served from all tiers on the back side of the cake first so the front would remain "pretty" while cutting and serving. Then we'd work our way around the top tier, then the lower tiers. We would serve the center of each lower tier as a last resort simply because they lack adequate frosting and are unattractive. Yeah, its cake, and tastes the same, but its still ugly, naked cake.

[@tylerl3326]

bad job of cutting it but who cares its gonna crumb up .. a good cake has crumbs .. a bad cake wont crumb up because its too thick and moist .. just a word of advice to all .. a perfect cake will crumb slightly .. a bad cake wont crumb at all your eating pudding not cake lmao

[@ivanhendr]

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).

[@eleo_b]

What on earth is the mother of the bride going to do with those cake separators?

[@BB-bx4dp]

Return them to the bakery

[@ahlambouanane4832]

het is the cake for 100 poepje???...thankx

[@snipitwithtriplets2815]

Cool I always wo dared how they did that

[@k.m.j.coutinho4390]

Kindly go watch Ron Ben-Israel cutting a wedding cake... (And she sounds so proud too of their lack of professionalism.)

[@tanamaraqueen2906]

All that cake and skimpy ass slices lmao wheres the backyard birthday party sz slices at?

[@christinab9808]

😂😂😂👍🏻

[@madonnahagedorn5649]

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.

[@Jalyced22]

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.

[@sidafiq28]

Dunt wanna sloppy? Then, dunt cut and dunt eat. So what its sloppy. Its not for display. Its gonna straight to ur stomach not eyes. Duh!! Bengang lah!!

[@Jalyced22]

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

[@Moss_piglets]

Ron Ben-Israel would've choked every single cake cutters in that kitchen! Who cuts a wedding cake with a butter knife? You could've used a chef's knife, fillet or santoku! Anything that will cut cleanly! If you're going to cut it an "imaginary" circle make sure it is a circle. That 6" cake in the middle will now be uneven and someone won't get a right amount of cake. People pay a lot for weddings, don't let it get wasted. Someone needs to take another look at the wilton cutting guides again... smh

[@Dgtrendingpinoy]

Cake i. Hurry

[@mjdqureshi8535]

wow i dont know that it would be slice that way (make an imaginary circle)

[@crystalwhite3304]

Y’all just ruined the slices! I didn’t see another take a clean towel to at least wipe the access cake off! And you are suppose to be professionals omg!

[@themailman8038]

Best cake slicing video ever!

[@hubbynwifey7]

helpful but a bit sloppy.plates should have been free of crumbs

[@putjesusfirst9217]

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.

[@OneWayDesigns]

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.

[@pegasusgalaxy68]

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

[@Nick-kc9nf]

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.

[@prlunaazul]

I wish a venue near me would see this. i cringe when i see how bad this venue butchers a cake and serve it like that. 😤

[@beautifulwoman6376]

very sloppy. they should have had a glass of water to dip the knife in each time to give a clean slice. crumbs on the plate is a no no!!! not for my wedding!!

[@WShen-qx9fg]

Love it!thanks!

[@lindawarner9627]

You do not need to cut around the cake in that way.,

[@dianacardona4380]

american cake are so funny lol how you can call this a wedding cake with only two "genoise" wich is 10 cm fat and 0.5cm of cream? please call this an everyday cake for afternoon after school it's better

[@Christian-Gigi]

Holy hell!!!!!!

[@RonnieJRIV]

Y’all couldn’t take a second to wipe the knives down??? Tacky tacky!!!!

[@bulahyoung3584]

What happen to cleaning the knife? sloppy job serving cake like that to the bride and groom, they're not even using a proper cake knife, awful

[@leopardsita]
