Do you have a methodology or protocol for cutting a 9x13 cake in pieces for serving?

Asked by ibstubro (18804points) April 6th, 2015

All my life a 9×13 cake was cut into either 12 or 15 pieces – two long cuts, and then either 3 or 4 short cuts. Eaten from corner to corner starting on one 9” end.

Over Easter I saw an adult commit the heresy of walking up to ½ an uncut cake and just hacking a piece out of the middle!!

MY S/O will walk up to ⅔ of an uncut cake and hack a random 5×5” square out of it, not only ruining the symmetry, but exposing about ½ the cake to the stalemaking air!

Please weigh in on this important and contentious issue. Should I have to shorten a cake’s shelf life by cutting the whole thing as soon as it’s cool? Honestly, we brought about ⅓ of the cake home and it looks like a jigsaw cake, ⅓ put together.
