Sugarologie’s Cakeculator is simply the best thing invented since sliced bread! Adriana, the whizz behind the Cakeculator, takes a very scientific (but easy to understand) approach to the recipes that she shares; she has a PhD in Biochemistry/Molecular Biology!
I often come across a cake recipe online or in one of my vintage cook books where the number of portions it makes is just too many. Usually when I bake, it’s only for Justin and me. A cake where you get 8 portions will last us four days… that’s if we want a slice on that many consecutive days. Most cakes will start tasting a bit stale after a few days too.
The simple drop-down menus on Sugarologie’s Cakeculator automatically works out recipe quantities. Simply choose the size of cake tin; e.g. 6-ince round (and the number of layers you want to make) or 1 dozen cupcakes. In addition to the tin option, you select the flavour of cake you plan on making; for instance, red velvet or chocolate. After this, you decide on the type of frosting; there are various types of buttercreams, meringues, cream cheese, whipped creams. Finally, click on the submit button and your chosen recipe with the correct amount of ingredients pops up as if by magic.
There’s no time spent having to do your own workings out, and there’s no waste… or panic when you realise that you haven’t made enough mixture!
