Cutting a cake for a large number of people is difficult and stressful.
It can be hard to not make a mess or judge portion sizes wrong.
One Tik Tok user has shared her tips and demonstrated how you should properly cut a cake to avoid these problems.
In this method that has went viral, the cake is cut into rectangles instead of triangles and it's not hard to see why.
Southern Living on Tik Tok said: "I hate to break it to you, but you have been cutting cakes wrong your entire life. Here's the mathematically correct way to do it.
"Instead of slicing at an angle like you would a pie, cut the cake in half first then divide the halves into four equal sections. You will then be able to cut eight even pieces from each side of the cake, instead of guessing at how big the wedges are going to be.
"This trick is used by wedding planners to get the most out of wedding cakes and has been proved by mathematicians as the right way to do it."
Each slice really does look perfect!
