score when still warm and cut through when cooledTwins, twice the laughs, twice the fun, twice the mess!:j:j0

The culinary god that runs the local cafe bar swears by using a warm knife. Just leave it in water for a few mins. The scoring also helps. I know people who put patterns in the still melted chocolate which makes cracking less noticable.There are many things in life that will catch your eye, only a few will catch your heart. Pursue those.0

I use a large pizza cutter! Works a treat0

In the same vein, I have terrible trouble getting evenly sized pieces. I've even tried using a ruler without success. Does anyone have a foolproof solution.0

My Mom measured her tin, did the maths, and scored little marks on the edges of the tray. Metal ruler from mark to mark and voila - even pieces. :TTrust me - I'm NOT a doctor!0 -

I do this - works wonders - all my round tins have the diameters scratched on the bottom too

This is what I do too And it also works a treat for slicing soft, gooey cheese without making a mess! 0 -
I did see dental floss being used to cut cakes once- thought it a good idea.0
