This viral cake-cutting method using wine glasses is kind of genius
If you've ever been cutting a cake and thought to yourself, "There must be a better way," do we have the viral video for you!
A new hack circulating on social media shows a family cutting into a cake with wine glasses. Instead of the traditional knife and plate route, one family is living in the future!
The video was originally posted to TikTok by @theroseperiod and shows a birthday celebration — hence the cake. Then, one by one, the group scoops out wine glasses of the dessert, and toasts.
@theroseperiod Happy 20th birthday to my Jules!##twenty##fyp##birthdaycake##wineglasses##tiktokmom

In the comments, the original poster explained that it's just her family blowing out the candles and eating and that they all live/quarantine together.
"omg- i think you just discovered something," one person replied.
"Cup + cake = ✨CUPCAKE ✨🧁," another commented.
"Y'all are the smartest ppl I've ever seen," someone else replied.
The video has inspired copycats — we can't blame them, if we had a cake handy, TODAY Food would probably give it a go — like @makingofcakes on Instagram.
The method would probably work best on small cakes for, say, a quarantined birthday at home with family. It also leaves behind a piece in the middle without frosting on the side, for whoever doesn't like the icing.
We'll take it! And if we are ever allowed to have parties with a big crowd again, this genius cake-cutting technique allows you to slice a cake into 10 even servings at once, using only a knife and a cutting board.
