How to Cut an Ice Cream Cake
If you have chosen to have an ice cream cake at your birthday party or special occasion, you may be wondering the best way to cut this awesome treat. Do not worry, the process is not hard, and all of your guests are sure to be pleased by this pleasant surprise.
- Take your ice cream cake out of the freezer where you are storing it. It is best to leave it sit out for a few minutes before attempting to cut the cake so that the ice cream has a chance to soften up slightly. This will make the job of cutting the cake much easier.
- Remove your ice cream cake from the box in which it came in and place it safely on the counter next to your kitchen sink so that you can easily access a supply of hot water.
- Choose a large cutting knife to carve your ice cream cake with.
- Place the cutting knife into the hot water so that it is allowed to heat up. This will help the knife to easily glide through the ice cream cake.
- Place the knife on the edge of the cake, and gently insert it into the cake and glide across the cake until you have reached the other side of your ice cream cake.
- Repeat this process until you have cut your ice cream cake into long strips.
- Place the knife back under the hot water source to heat up the surface of the knife once again.
- Place the knife into the edge of the cake and cut your pieces into the size in which you would like them to be.
- Continue this process until all of your ice cream cake has been cut into individual pieces for serving.
