Violet Wexley Cake Batter Scaling Calculator

Stop doing pan-volume math in your head — or guessing and hoping.

Scaling a cake recipe up or down isn't just multiplying by a round number. Different pan sizes hold different volumes, tall tiers need more batter than standard ones, and if you're building a tiered order, every tier needs its own math. This calculator does the real geometry for you — plug in your base recipe once, tell it what tiers you're baking, and get exact scaled ingredient amounts in seconds.

What it does:

• Works with any cake recipe — enter your own base recipe once (what pan it's written for, your ingredient list) and reuse it for every order
• Builds out full tiered orders — add as many tiers as the order needs, each with its own size
• Handles tall tiers correctly — a 3-layer (6") tier scales differently than a standard 2-layer (4") tier, calculated automatically, not eyeballed
• Batch multiplier for when you're making more than one of the same cake
• Shows the scale factor for every tier individually, so you can see the math instead of trusting a black box
• Built-in bake time reference chart by pan size, so you're not guessing oven time on top of everything else
• Flags when you're past what any formula can promise — very large batches sometimes need a small leavening adjustment that no calculator can predict for your specific recipe. The tool tells you when you've hit that territory instead of pretending every batch scales identically.

What's included:

• The batter scaling calculator (opens in any browser — no software, no login, no subscription)

This is yours forever. One-time purchase, no recurring fees, works completely offline once downloaded.

Perfect for anyone who's ever turned down a big tiered order because the scaling math felt like too much of a headache to risk getting wrong.
