Cutting a wedding cake can be daunting but with a little research ahead, including a talk with the baker to determine the shape, size, consistency, and firmness, this task should be a piece of … cake. 
A diagram on how to cut a wedding cake is a great help too. Fortunately, Wilton has graciously provided cutting guides for cakes of all shapes and sizes here. There are guides for square, round, heart, petal, oval, hexagonal, and paisley shapes.
Check out this YouTube video of a pro cutting a square tier. Specially note the way the knife is held, the angle of the cut, and how crumbs were constantly wiped off the blade.

Thank You.
Hmm.. Now this is interesting.. I didn’t know that there’s a proper way to cut. I would have cut it as usual really dividing into sections before cutting it into small pieces..

My mom was a cake decorator and taught me how to cut a wedding cake. Some times it’s a curse. I seem to get cornered into doing it at many functions! lol! Once, at an anniversary party they didn’t have any large knifes, just plastic ones… what a mess! I had icing all over me!
