ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Cake and pie server

Ah, I understand! So, imagine you have a yummy cake or pie that you want to share with your friends and family. However, you don't want to use your hands to grab a slice because that's not very polite or hygienic. That's where a cake and pie server comes in!

It's kind of like a tiny shovel that you use to scoop out a perfect slice of cake or pie. The server has a triangular or spade-shaped blade that you slide carefully under the dessert to lift up the slice. Then, you use the server to transfer the slice onto a plate or into a bowl.

This way, everyone can enjoy a perfect slice of cake or pie without getting their hands dirty, and the dessert stays neat and tidy. Plus, using a server shows that you have good manners and know how to share with others!
