Anyone who’s cut a frosting-laden cake knows that it’s not quite as simple as it looks. Even when it starts off well, it inevitably turns into a goopy mess as the knife gets caked with crumbs and the cake gets smooshed. Add in trying to accommodate everyone’s size and amount-of-frosting preferences, and cake cutting becomes a bit of a chore for the person holding the knife.

What if there were a faster, simpler (albeit not necessarily neater) way to cut a cake? It appears there is. A game-changing video on TikTok has completely changed the cake-cutting conversation, eliminating the cake server, long knife, serving plates, and spatula, and replacing them with joyous anarchy.

A TikTok video with over 460,000 likes shows a family celebrating a woman’s 20th birthday, and after she blows out the candles, each person takes out a wine glass and scoops up a mound of cake.
