To cut a round cake into 14 pieces, you can follow these steps:
Place the round cake on a flat surface, such as a cutting board or cake stand.
Find the center of the cake by drawing an imaginary line across the cake from one side to the other, and then another line from the opposite side to form a cross. The point where the lines intersect is the center.
Using a long, sharp knife, make a vertical cut from the center of the cake towards the outer edge, dividing it into two equal halves.
Make another cut perpendicular to the first one, again starting from the center and going towards the outer edge. This will divide the cake into four equal quarters.
Now, make two more cuts diagonally between the existing cuts, starting from the center and extending towards the outer edge. These cuts will create eight equal-sized pieces.
Finally, make two more cuts, again diagonally, between the existing cuts. This will give you a total of 14 pieces.
Remember to wipe the knife clean between cuts to ensure neat slices. Also, keep in mind that the size of each piece may vary slightly depending on the size and shape of the cake, but this method should help you achieve roughly equal portions.
