Funfetti Cake

You can use any cake recipe here. The joy in this post is how to cut the cake. I saw this on Tik Tok and had to try it-amazing!!! I cut it after freezing the cake for 30 mins. I used a dry, hot chef knife and it glided through perfectly! Yes, you can even use a box mix! Slice the cake horizontally across into a long rectangle strip. Then, lay it flat and slice vertically from top to bottom into3-4 pieces.

• I like to freeze the layers and then use a serrated knife to divide each layer in half.
• I only used 3 layers for this cake.
• Save the 4th for snacking or cake pops.

• Add cream until desired consistency.
