This viral cake cutting hack changes everything - Mashed

If seeing this inspired you to abandon your cake knife, Let's Eat Cake offers some tips. Mainly, use a deep, stemmed wine glass. With a stemless one, you will find your fist icing-deep in the remaining cake, thus ruining it for everyone else. Other tips include baking smaller cakes so they could be eaten in one attempt because the remains will probably be unappetizing and not pressing too hard or else you may end up with a fistful of shattered glass.

However, one person, or – to use the word Pedestrian TV describes them as – "hater," made the valid point that if you do scoop yourself a glass of cake, all the icing will be at the bottom. So unless you scoop deep at the outset, the final taste in your mouth will be that of sugar-heavy icing. If that bothers you not, all is hunky-dory. However, instead of baking a cake and dividing it with glasses, you could also make a desert within the glasses in the first place, as What's Cooking America demonstrates with a tiramisu recipe that incorporates a martini glass. That said, there is a visceral pleasure in watching the wine glass slip through the cake layers.
