Off With Its Icing!

When you're the Queen of England, and you're in England and you think you'd like to cut a cake with a sword, then you get to.

The best part of the video is when someone off-camera tells Her Majesty that there's a knife she can use, she informs her, "I know there is." Go back four or five hundred years, she might have used the sword on her after she was finished with the cake.

At the organized birthday parties that my dojo used to hold, they cut the birthday cake with a katana.

The staff, though. Not the celebrants, who were generally six years old.

The one she uses at first looks like a katana, but it's pointed and was probably one of the ceremonial swords someone at the event was wearing. She acts as if only one edge was sharpened.
