Party Cakes - 1 1/2 x 2 in. Slices

The diagrams shown represent the cuting plan for specific pan shapes. You will use the same general technique to cut each size cake in that shape.
 
Rounds:
To cut round cakes, move in two inches from the cake's outer edge; cut a circle and then slice approximately 1 1/2 inch pieces within the circle. Now move in another 2 inches, cut another circle, slice approximately 1 1/2 inch pieces and so on until the cake is completely cut.

Note: 6 inch diameter cakes should be cut in wedges, without a center circle. Cut Petal and Hexagon cakes similar to round tiers.

 
Squares:
To cut square cakes, move in 2 inches from the outer edge and cut across. Then slice approximately 1 1/2 inch pieces of cake. Now move in another 2 inches and slice again until the entire cake is cut.
 
Sheets:
Cut sheet cakes similar to square cakes.
