Fair Share Cake Plate, Hands Off Kid!
Posted by Mark Wilson at 6:20 AM on June 17, 2008
You know what we hate? When people get all up in our cake. You know what we're talking about. You've got a sweet banana cream or a succulent red velvet, and then, you know, someone gets all up in your cake. What's with that? With this plate, you can measure your cake consumption--or more appropriately--the consumption of others. That's right. Put down the cake, kid. That 2mm is ours. And we're gonna eat it. (The cake.)

Between my brother and I, we use the I-split-you-pick rule (or vice-versa).

Finally! Because weighing each slice just isn't good enough for me....I need proper proportions.

I'm holding out for the pizza version. My next door neighbor used to bust out the calculator for the hard divisions of pizza consumption.

What if you don't slice on the radius? Like the pizza guy who, despite slicing on 45 degree increments still manages to make a few gimpy slices.

An elaborate lie is still a lie.

Easier and cheaper method:
One kid cuts and the other kid chooses.

It doesn't take into account density variations in the cake mass or uneven frosting.

This places an unpleasant emphasis on the finiteness of cake, in my opinion. I prefer to eat blindly and then be surprised when it ends.

If you want a bigger piece and you can't b.c they are all the same size...just stick your face in the middle.

If they made it in radians, I'll actually get two pies out of one the one whole piece. :)

I want one that's labelled in radians. Degrees are for surveyors.

So it's two protractors duct taped together? All right! I support this. I want to be able to defend myself at the family get-together and assert that I did, in fact, only eat five percent (18 degrees) of the cake, and my fat cousin Wayne ate four cousins' portions (72 degrees). Bring on the protractor-plate, cake men. And let justice be served.

THAT CAKE LOOKS SO GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111111
OM NOM NOM
Also, that plate is a waste of money. It's a vanity item. No one cares if someone got another few millimeters of cake more than anyone else. Besides, its ugly.

2 mm? This cake plate measures in degrees. At the least you could have incorporated a punchline that mentioned radians. Ah you blew it, Mark.

@Synthfilker:
pi * r^2 * h, actually.
But that's okay, there's no sense crying
over every mistake.

I gots an awesome recipe for red velvet cake with a cream cheese frosting. Make it in a bundt pan and cut along the evenly spaced shape of the cake. It even comes with 3 separate measurements for "Just a sliver", a regular size (which is kinda big-ish), and "Big-boy".
