Life Hacks That Actually Work

The Perfect Cut

This is actually a really common and popular cake-cutting hack among the best chefs and bakers. Simply use a piece of floss to cut a cake! This works really well for when you need to cut the cake into layers, or if you're trying to get the perfect piece. Just don't use minty floss, that would not taste good! (Depending on the cake, that is.) This hack also works on blocks of cheese.
