There are hacks that make no sense, and then there are hacks that make you think: HOW HAVE I NEVER THOUGHT OF THIS?! This mom’s hack on TikTok clearly belongs in the latter category.

Anyone who’s ever had to cut a cake knows: it’s not as easy as it looks. Well, not if you want to cut it into nice, equal pieces, that is. Anyone can massacre a cake with a knife.

Also perfect for people who say, ‘I only want a small piece’

But the mother of TikToker mimstercx has the ultimate trick: she uses the back of a pair of kitchen tongs to cut the perfect triangle. Genius. Especially because you can decide the size yourself. Big piece? Hold the tongs wider apart. Small piece? Squeeze the tongs closer together and there you go. Ideal for those people who say, ‘I only want a really tiny piece.’

Viral

Although her mother doesn’t seem all that impressed with her own invention in the video, it has since been viewed more than 5.5 million times and over a thousand people have commented. The best one? “Your mom is from the year 2050!”
