Piece of Cake!

| Have your cake and cut it too |
Thursday is now "Puzzle Day". Why, you ask? Because today, my fortune cookie said, "You will put weekly puzzles in your blog." As I've never been one to question the cookie, here it is:
If I give you a regular cheesecake and knife, what is the most number of pieces you can make with four straight cuts?

12. Make 3 cuts to cut the cake into 6ths then cut once across the midsection of the cake to make 12 pieces of half the height.

Ripan, you're close, but no, you can make more than 12 pieces.

make an x and then cut a line across it but below the intersection of the x (making 7 pieces) and then half the height with the 4th cut = 14?

14 is good, but you can do better.
