Great, now we all want layered cake. I hope you're happy.

This is a great tip. I always hate being the first one to eat something at a party. And when it comes to desserts, there’s a certain pressure about cutting it “correctly”

Blowjob is one way

Hahahaha, so funny you say that. I was just thinking finally a LPT that isn't either ridiculous or obvious. I have definitely walked by the desert table a few times waiting for someone else to take the first piece. I will eventually just do it myself and that seems to happen pretty dang often. Maybe that's just confirmation bias or whatever but this idea is novel, simple, and helpful. Great Life Pro Tip in my opinion.

Just throwing this out there, do you make sure that the people you are partnering with are fully satisfied. If they are fantastic. They're not. You're just focusing on yourself. How about, 9/10 partners have been thoroughly satisfied.

Did you get this from my advice on yesterday’s post of r/confessions lol

INCONCEIVABLE!

put a few bucks in tip jar before the store opens. in motion stays in motion

My family always took the “do both” approach but like you said. Bring it all pristine and presentable. Then once it’s set out, someone without even asking just starts cutting a bunch of slices and putting a few on plates. Then after that, you’re free to cut if there aren’t any precut ones.

Never a problem with untouched desserts there. I also learned they won’t go for desserts unless it’s in tiny portions. Because “I’m on a diet but I want to try a little bit.” Ever since learning that lesson the hard way, I bake things bite sized.

This is fantastic! And a clever conversation starter too.

Me. It's me.

Good solution! I feel like my cupcakes come out less moist than a full-sized cake. Maybe I'm doing something wrong though. I've heard of people using sour cream to make cake more moist. Maybe I'll try that next time.

The real pro tip haha

Yea, TBH this is a weird LPT. It’s not normal to arrive at a party with pre eaten food.

I don’t know. People see what people bring in and I would definitely judge someone if they brought something that already looks eaten. I would think “are they just bringing left overs from a night before?”

It’s better just to be the first one to take a slice after you put it out.

It’s an embarrassment to serve yourself first when you brought a dish to share with others. Basic etiquette.

Right? How is this a "Life Pro Tip"

Because you've spent the last several years building up an immunity.

As a photographer that likes to take photos of things before they are ransacked this is extremely annoying.

Just bring me to your party. I’ll cut into all the desserts that haven’t been cut yet.

LPT: When you bring a dessert to a function, make sure that you don’t pre-cut it or remove any slices. This way people are less likely to dig in and you’ll have more leftovers for yourself.

And as soon as you cut into it, the calories fly out 😂😂

I always do this. Not for this reason, but bc I gotta eat some myself to test it

Or proof that it isn't poisonous

Man. I was taught to be polite/generous and serve everyone else first. Used to love doing it because theres always more than enough, and it works very well when everyone else makes sure you also eat. Made the mistake of doing that for other kids at summer camp, every kid got served their first slice, grabbed second and THIRD slices, and by the time I got around to myself, there wasn't a first slice for me.

Went to the next meal, stood up, and instead of asking everyone else for their plates like I usually do, served myself up a huge plate and sat my ass down while everyone called me rude.

Naw bitch. Nowadays I'm making my plate first.
