Cake is important - fact. Think about it: if the Queen came round for tea, you wouldn’t want to serve her cake that had been cut using the wrong utensil, would you? Your slices would be sub-standard, she’d be less than impressed and she might jolly well not come round for tea again. Even if Her Majesty told you she was bored of knives and asked would you show her something new and exciting in the field of cake carving, you’d want to make damn sure you chose the right impliment to do the job.
Which brings us to our final test - Scissors vs. Pizza Cutter: The Decider. Except the Pizza Cutter has already won 8-6 at round 14, but that’s beside the point. This is still a crucial test, and for this reason we made a video to document our findings. Watch and learn.
So there we have it. The Pizza Cutter failed largely due to the suddenly conspicuous finger guard joining its handle to its equally conspicuous stubby (albeit circular) blade, which caught the surface of the cake as we buried the blade, ripping it something rotten.
The Scissors, on the other hand, coped rather well, delivering a much tidier, more beautiful slice.
Now you know: if the Queen comes round for tea, hide your Pizza Cutter, and give the Scissors pride of place on your worktop. You never know when the Queen might want cake.
