Desserts and baking Calculators
In Food
Baker's Percentage Calculator
Flour is always 100 percent, which is what lets one number scale a whole formula.
Cake Pan Converter
Area goes as the square of the diameter, so 8 inch to 9 inch is 27 percent more, not 12.
Cake Pricing Calculator
Home bakers price as though their time were free, then wonder why the work stops being worth it.
Cake Serving Calculator
About 100 g a head, which is far less cake than most hosts cut.
Chocolate Calculator
Chocolate is roughly a third fat by weight, which is where most of its energy sits.
Doughnut Recipe Calculator
Scaling down is harder than scaling up — small baked batches are far less forgiving.
Ice Cream Calculator
120 mL a head is a generous scoop, and people take less when there are three flavours.
Pancake Recipe Calculator
Everything scales but the eggs, which come in indivisible fifty-gram units.
Perfect Pancake Calculator
Rounding an egg is a twenty percent change in the binding — beat one and weigh out part.
Self-Rising Flour Calculator
Plain flour plus about 1.5 percent baking powder and 0.4 percent salt, by weight.
Sourdough Calculator
Above 75 percent hydration the dough is slack and open-crumbed — and much harder to handle.
