Your cake can be very basic, or you can choose from a variety of flavors. However, I’ve always had issues with cutting these ice cream cakes. This made me dive deep into the proper ways of cutting an ice cream cake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As a general rule, you can cut an ice cream cake by dipping a long serrated knife into hot water and gliding it all the way down with each slice. Make sure to wipe the knife dry after dipping it into the hot water and repeat the process with each slice.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n While cutting an ice cream cake may seem like a simple task, I found out the hard way that there are many additional aspects that go into it. In this article, I’ll break down everything that I found about cutting homemade as well as store-bought ice cream cakes. There’s a difference!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Properly cutting an ice cream cake step-by-step:<\/p>\n\n\n\n *By the way,<\/strong> I like to use the right type of utensils when cutting my ice cream cake <\/strong>and after some research, I recently came across an awesome Set of A Cutting Spatula and A Serrated Serving Knife<\/a><\/strong> that works great<\/strong> for properly cutting an ice cream cake.

I’ve served many ice cream cakes<\/strong> for summer family events, birthdays, graduation ceremonies, and even special family dinners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Any time that I wanted to make an event seem more special without spending a lot of money or taking up a lot of extra time, I added an ice cream cake with the assumption that every slice will look nice after cutting it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n However, I quickly found out that there should be a method to slicing a frozen cake.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n After following these simple step-by-step instructions, I no longer had a problem with my ice cream cake falling apart while trying to cut it. My job now was to make each slice look as neat as possible!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Always make sure that your knife is washed between each slice. Also always make sure that you dry the knife after you wash it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Since the knife is warm after dipping it in hot water, you need to press down firmly when cutting an ice cream cake. It will glide down with ease all the way to the bottom. Avoid making a saw-like motion of the cake as it will start falling apart.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nHow to Properly Cut Ice Cream Cake?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
