Cake Cutting

This week's puzzle is a very simple one . BTW were you able to solve last week's puzzle. I need to tell you that one of my juniors got the right solution . So as a treat I gave him the cake below and this puzzle.


You have a round cake as a treat . With three straight slices of a knife, divide the cake into 8 equal pieces.



















Can you help him enjoy his treat .

Cheers,
Madhu

cut it into half, place a piece on top of the other. Repeat till you end up with 8 pieces. You would have cut thrice.

But i dont want the cake.

Cut the cake in three perpendicular directions.i.e.along X,y and Z axes with the help of three straight sticks...this will give eight pieces....
