Links to Cake Cutting & Serving Guides

As a former math teacher, I decided to calculate the number of slices per cake myself. Noticing that some cake-cutting diagrams result in corner pieces with predominantly frosting, I aimed to avoid that. Since the cake’s exterior is typically frosted, I used graph paper to draw cutting patterns that ensured each slice had a proper balance of cake and frosting. Consequently, the number of slices (i.e., servings) per cake in my diagrams may differ from those found on other websites.
