How to easily cut a layered cake
Your daughter excitedly poses with her new bag, eager for a picture. Her hair’s a little wild—no time for a comb this morning—but that’s okay.
"Hey, it’s a special moment she wants to capture!" you think, smiling as you snap the picture. These are the moments we hold dear🥰
Then, another memory: her birthday. The cake sits in front of her, waiting—candles already blown out
But who’s going to cut it?
You glance around—no one steps up
With a sigh, you take the knife and start slicing.
The pieces? Well, some are big, some are small, and most are... a little messy.
I totally get it.
Cutting that beautiful, layered cake into neat, even slices for your daughter and her friends can feel daunting, especially with their moms watching you
Here’s the easiest way I have found to cut a layered cake—with pride and confidence
Step 1:
Start with a long knife. Measure in about 2 inches from the edge and cut straight across the cake
Step 2:
Lay the cut piece on it’s side
Step 3:
Cut 1-inch slices off of the stripe laying down. Place on a dessert plate.
Step 4:
Repeat until all guests have a slice of cake. Serve your cake with pride.

Cinnamon Hot Tea
It all begins with an idea.
Earlier this winter, I was craving cinnamon hot tea
So, I did a little research and found out that making cinnamon tea was simple
The fact that I had all the ingredients in the house, made it even easier
Today, I'm giving you my recipe for Cinnamon Hot Tea
What you’ll need:
· Hot water
· 1 cinnamon stick
· Drizzle of honey
Here’s how I make my cinnamon tea:
Heat water
Drizzle a bit of honey in the bottom of my cup for sweetener
Drop in 1 cinnamon stick
Pour in a couple Tablespoons of hot water
Stir with the cinnamon stick until the honey is dissolved
Add hot water to fill the cup
Let sit a bit to flavor through
Sip away
I love to make myself a cup of this delicious hot tea in the evening
It’s the coziest ending to a cold day – wrapping my chilly fingers around a warm mug
