How to maximize or minimize cake recipe size

[Sussan Estela Olaya]

Hi Adiam

To double or triple a recipe, simply multiply each ingredient by 2 or 3. To reduce a recipe, divide all the ingredients by half or by a quarter.

Let us know what mold sizes you are using or plan to use<div>

You could also let us know which recipe you’re referring to, as we have two courses on creative cakes with buttercream from Chef Espinoza on the platform. This way, we can review it and provide you with more information.

Best regards.
