Welcome to the Cake Decorators Q&A

Hi
There is some great conversion charts re upsizing/downsizing cake quantities but I am not clear how to reduce/increase the time in oven. Is there a conversion formula I can use?

wilton has a nice chart at

I hope it helps!

Hi Annie

Unfortunately the is no hard formula for timings because all ovens are different. and timings are give as a guide only and not as a rule. Have a look at my answer here:

How to convert baking times

In that answer is another link which will take you to my blog on baking problems and solutions. It covers timing and why we should treat given times as guides only. I normally baby sit all new recipes/ cake sizes when baking for the first time and jot the timing down for future reference. Hope this helps.
