The advantage of the thread method when cutting cake
Unlike many tips that may look good but don't necessarily work, this trick is really handy . Since the thread is very thin, much thinner than a knife, it only puts pressure on the cake in a very small space. This way you avoid bruises and that the filling does not spill out . Even cream layers or biscuit rolls can be cut quickly and cleanly.

Thread method also helps in other areas
A thread does not only serve very well when cutting cake. You can also use it to cut dough without squeezing it, e.g. for puff pastry snails or pizza rolls . This way, the delicious filling is not squeezed out before you can even bake it. The method is also wonderful for soft cheeses such as goat cheese, feta (for delicious zucchini buffers) and Co. or just anything that is soft . Try it.
