Welcome to the Cake Decorators Q&A

Hey Again!

So firstly thanks so much for the cake reckoners its been so useful, but I do have a quick question..
I am using it to scale down the ingredients to work out exactly how much it cost me to make each size cake..

So for example if it cost me £10 to make the 10″ round and 6″ round like the recipe suggests, how would I scale it down as the £10 covers the cost of both cakes?

Hope that made sense.
Thanks!

Hi Steph

The whole recipe makes a 10″ square cake so use that as the size you scale down from. Make sense?

Hello, Thanks for reply, would it not be different for round cakes though? as the recipe makes either 10″ square OR 10″ round & 6″ round?

Thanks !

Noooo!! xx 🙂 it doesn’t matter whether the recipe is round or square. The 10″ square is the starting point.
Since the 10″ round + 6″ round = 10″ square for total ingredients, you just go to the relevant line and column for the 10″ square and then go to whatever size for round, square or rectangular cake you are convertin to. Any good now?
