Cutting christmas cake

[lafrancaise]

Is there a knack in cutting Christmas cake so it doesn't crumble but stays in a neat slice? Hope someone can help

Very sharp knife, point first, and then a very slight sawing action.

you could freeze it and then use a tenon saw...

Get my sister to make it, then you can do as I always do, get the Black & decker on it at New Year, throw it to the birds around February and unfortunately as this year, watch in initial amusement, bewilderment shortly followed by horror as one of the lovely blackbird family who inhabit the garden appear to have broken their jaw on it and are hopping around the garden beak wide open for hours.

Thank you all for those suggestions.... curiosity, don't think I'll ask your sister to make it I don't want any casualties over the festive season...

If it is a round cake I cut it across way. If you start at the bottom of the cake, as in looking at it on a plate, cut a straight line across about 1/2 inch in. Then carry on cutting up the cake, cutting these larger slices inton two,then three and so on. Brenda
