Welcome to the Cake Decorators Q&A
Costing cake sizes
Hi,
When you are making a cake and changing the size of the cake say 8 inch round to 10 inch square and say it’s x0.4 to get to your target cake size, ( just an example).
Would this be the same for the costing of the cake ingredients?
Maybe someone has links to portion size charts etc?
Hope this makes sense.
Kindest regards
Paul

Hi Paul
If a cake is scaled up, more ingredients are used so it is more expensive to produce. To scale ingredients up or down you may find the following conversions chart helpful:
Use either the ready reckoner or the cake o meter tools, they are both easy to work with.
For a portions chart take a peek at chart and video here:
Take a peek also at David’s very useful tips on cake pricing with confidence here:
Please let me know if I have understood your question and if you would like more information.
