Welcome to the Cake Decorators Q&A
14 inch round fruit cake
Hi
I am a cake novice, I love baking and decorating cakes for friends and family as a hobby. A friend has asked that I make her 5 tier wedding cake, with the bottom layer being a 14inch round cake. Does anyone have a recipe for a 14inch round fruit cake?
Many thanks

Thank you so much for your assistance with this – it is the cenversion part that i am really struggling with for the ingredients, as i don’t want an expensive mistake! I will look at the CakeOmeter again as this was not working when i tried to look at this
Hi Ihammer
If you have a calculator just multiply all the ingredients by 3.1 as in the ready reckoner. If you’re still struggling with it please post again and I’ll convert it for you.
How do I convert the cake recipe for a 14 inch cake
