Cutting cake into layers

I learnt a really neat trick to cut a cake into layers. I typically would use a knife and struggle with the wonkiness. After googling for a little while, I found a lot of tips to cut cakes into two layers, again with a knife. 

I came across this site that was brilliant! http://www.wikihow.com/Cut-a-Cake-Layer-in-Half I did this for my black forest cake and it worked a charm! Especially with having to split the cake into 3 pieces. Below my pictorial instructions.

Add toothpicks around cake to line up where you’ll split the cake

Using fishing line or scentless dental floss, line up along the top of the toothpicks and pull through slowly.

After pulling through the line, the layers should come apart.
