How to Split a Cake in Half | delicious. Magazine

Learn how to evenly split a cake in half using cotton thread. It's a great trick to do with kids, as there's no knife involved.

You will need...
4 cocktail sticks
Piece of thread
Ruler
Sponge cake

Method:
1. Using a ruler, measure half way up the height of the cake, then place the cocktail sticks at four equally-distanced points around the cake. This will ensure the cake cuts evenly and cleanly.
2. Next, wind the thread around the circumference of the cake making sure it touches the top of each cocktail stick. Then, pull it tight until it slices completely through the sponge.
3. Remove the top layer with a knife and fill your cake with anything you fancy.
