Cake recipes from cake courses here at The Bailiwick Academy always come with cake pan serving sizes. But have you ever encountered this in your baking journey?

 cake pan serving sizes

Or:

If you have, and you’re still not sure how to convert cake pan serving sizes, don’t worry. In this article, we will help you make the best choices for your baking adventures so that you’ll have a delicious cake that will turn out just the way you want it. That’s especially if you don’t have the necessary pans that will get you the result in the recipe—and it’s not like you have a lot of pans lying around in your kitchen, right?

Keep reading for a different kind of cake baking lesson–one that involves a lot of math!

Understanding Cake Pan Sizes

Cake pans can come in various sizes, which we can classify into two categories:

Standard Cake Pan Sizes

Standard dimensions are ones that are commonly used in recipes. The most common sizes are:

  • Round cake pans with 8-inch, 9-inch, and 10-inch diameters
  • Square cake pans with sizes like 8×8 inches or 9×9 inches
  • Rectangular cake pans in sizes such as 9×13 inches or 11×15 inches.

Non-Standard Cake Pan Sizes

Non-standard cake pans are, well, non-standard, so it’s hard to get exact measurements for them. However, they can add more versatility to your baking. These can include mini cake pans, differently-shaped pans (i.e., heart-shaped), or larger pans for baking large batches or specialty cakes like bundt cakes.

If you want a more comprehensive list of different pans, plus how much batter they can hold, here’s a chart from Joy of Baking:

Do take note that when a recipe calls for you to fill out a pan with batter, you should only pour until the pan is ⅔ full and ½ full for shallower pans. Do not completely fill it up.

Common Cake Pan Sizes and Their Uses

Here are the most common cake pan sizes and what they’re used for.

Round Cake Pans

Round cake pans are the most commonly used pans for baking cakes. The 8-inch pan is perfect for small gatherings or layered cakes, while 9- and 10-inch ones are ideal for larger gatherings.

Square Cake Pans

Square cake pans are often used for bar cakes, brownies, or smaller cake portions. The 8×8-inch size is excellent for small cakes, while the 9×9-inch size is suitable for slightly larger servings.

Rectangular Cake Pans

Rectangular cake pans are versatile and commonly used for sheet cakes, brownies, or layered cakes. The 9×13-inch size is popular for sheet cakes, while the 11×15-inch size is suitable for larger gatherings.

Bundt Cake Pans

Bundt cake pans come in various sizes, typically measured in cup capacity. The 10-cup size is a standard choice and will work well for most bundt cake recipes.

Sheet Cake Pans

Sheet cake pans are large, shallow pans ideal for baking cakes meant to be cut into squares or rectangles. The half-sheet size, measuring 13×18 inches, is commonly used for baking sheet cakes.

How do you convert cake pan measurements?

So we get to the meat of the article: how do you compute the substitutions? After all, you have to be careful to get a delicious cake result! In short, converting pan sizes requires careful consideration to ensure that your cake bakes evenly and has the desired texture. 

Same Shape of Pan But Different Sizes

Chef Joey Prats made it easy for us with his guides! Check out his guide for square pans:

cake pan serving sizes

And circular pans:

cake pan serving sizes

You can apply the same to rectangular pans.

Different Shapes And Sizes Of Pans

One of the best ways to do this is to use simple mathematical calculations or online conversion tools to help you determine the equivalent size for your specific recipe.

The first step is to find out how much your pan can hold. You can refer to the table above to make things easy for you. But if you want to manually compute, here are the formulas:

  • Rectangular and square pans – multiply the measurements of the sides. So if your pan is 11×15, your pan is 165 square inches.
  • Circular pans – get the area by multiplying the radius squared by pi or 3.14. To get the radius, divide the diameter—which is the length of a straight line passing through the center of the circle and touching two points on the circumference—by 2. For example, a 6-inch round pan has a radius of 3. So the formula will be (3×3)x3.14. The area will be 28.26.   

Once you know the capacity or size of your pan, you can now make substitutions with another pan. For example, if the recipe calls for the 165 square inch pan, you’ll need around five to six circular pans to fit the same batter amount.

The Simplest Method

If you want to avoid having to do math, here’s the best thing you can do: make extra cake batter! Of course, this only applies if you have extra ingredients, you’re planning to make more of the same cakes in the next few days, and you have space in your freezer for the unused batter. Hey, at the end of the day, it’s better to have extras than not enough at all.

Other Things To Consider When Converting Cake Pan Sizes

Here are some things to keep in mind regarding cake pans.

You’ll Have To Consider Baking Times

Changing your cake pan can affect how long you should bake your cakes. If you have more batter, you may need to bake your cake longer. And if you have a smaller pan, your baking will be shorter. 

Of course, the best way is still to keep an eye on your cake and do the toothpick test

Think About Your Choice Of Pans

Aside from the yield and equivalent of the pans that you have, you’ll also have to think about the following before finally deciding on what you’ll use:

  • Number of servings you want
  • Type of cake and occasion you are baking for
  • The recipe
  • The thickness of the cake layers you desire

Remember, each pan you use will have a different effect and result when it comes to cakes!

Cake Pan Serving Sizes FAQs

Can I use a different pan size if the recipe specifies a specific size?

Yes, you can adjust the recipe by using conversion methods to fit your available pan size.

How can I convert a recipe to a different cake pan size?

You can use mathematical calculations or online conversion tools to help you determine the necessary adjustments. To make things faster, just make extra batter.

Will changing the pan size affect the baking time?

Yes, changing the pan size may require adjustments to the baking time. Keep an eye on your cake and use the toothpick test to determine doneness.

What factors should I consider when choosing a cake pan size?

Consider the number of servings, type of cake, recipe instructions, and the occasion or presentation style.

Can I substitute different-shaped pans for a specific recipe?

Yes, you can often substitute different-shaped pans, but be mindful of adjusting the baking time and recipe proportions accordingly.

Where can I find high-quality cake pans?
You can find a wide selection of high-quality cake pans at kitchen supply stores, online retailers, or specialty baking stores. An example is Buji.ph—they have plenty to choose from. You can also browse TBA Shop.

Final Thoughts

Choosing the right cake pan size is crucial for baking delicious and visually appealing cakes. Understanding the standard sizes, how to convert cake pan serving sizes, and considering various other factors will help you achieve the desired results. Whether you’re baking a small layered cake or a large sheet cake, the right pan size ensures even baking and perfect portions. 

Happy baking!

If you love cakes – whether making them, eating them, or just simply admiring them – I’m personally inviting you to join Cake Fiesta Manila 2022! It’s happening this coming November 24 to November 26 at SMX Convention Center in Pasay

Oh, and The Bailiwick Academy is going to be there as well at booth A03! 

cake fiesta manila 2022 the bailiwick academy
That’s us!

But what’s Cake Fiesta Manila and what’s going to happen there? Read on to find out!

What is Cake Fiesta Manila 2022?

Cake Fiesta Manila is a cake show. But it’s not just any cake show, it’s ​​the FIRST ever in the Philippines and the biggest one in Asia! It’s a three-day cake show, too!

It will have world-renowned guest cake artists sharing their expertise via live workshops and demos, top local and international companies presenting unique products, cake display entries, and also a cake decorating competition. Sounds exciting, right?

Who organized this event?

Two of the organizers are actually TBA instructors: Valeri Valeriano and Christina Ong! They are the founders of Queen of Hearts Couture Cakes in London.

Speaking of them being TBA instructors, make sure to check out their classes!

Decorating with Buttercream:

Wonderful Woodland:

Going back, Valeri and Christina were catching up with one of their friends, Penk Chink of Pastry Bin. They started talking about cake shows they have experienced and that’s when the idea of holding a cake show here in the Philippines started to get baked (pardon the pun). 

Why did they decide to make this happen?

After all, there’s already the Oklahoma State Sugar Art Show, Soflo Cake and Candy Expo, America’s Cake Fair, The Ultimate Sugar Show Atlanta, and so much more… and that’s in the USA alone!

There’s also the Cake International Show, Cake & Bake Show, Cake & Bake Germany, Sugar Paris, Die Kuchenmesse Cake Fair Austria for Europe, and in Australia, Cake, Bake & Sweets Show, International Cake Show Australia, Cake Expo Brisbane.

So they thought, why not have a cake show that’s in the Philippines? That way, they can give aspiring bakers and cake artists the opportunity to experience one, especially those that can’t afford to fly out of the Philippines for now.

And by organizing Cake Fiesta Manila, they aim to elevate the skills and quality of cake decorating in Asia, not just by partnering with top suppliers, but also getting the best teachers all over the world to show their expertise. Plus, they’re implementing cake competitions to challenge aspiring bakers and cake makers!

It’s their way of spotlighting the many people in the cake community with skills and talent in cake. And isn’t that a great way of suddenly putting the spotlight on talented people who just lack the platform and exposure? You never know what kind of talent you’ll discover in these competitions!

What will happen in Cake Fiesta Manila 2022?

Well, as I mentioned above, this show is not just for those IN the industry. This is for everyone who loves making cakes even for their own enjoyment, as well as for those who want to learn to make cakes and simply eat them!

Activities include:

  • Competitions (not sure if it’s going to be like MasterChef levels, but it will definitely be interesting to watch!), like the Cake Display Competition
  • Make and Take classes, where you’ll get to pick from six fast, 45-minute cupcake/ cookie classes each day! Get to learn some fun and cute designs with buttercream and fondant with multiple techniques and learning outcomes!
  • Free demos and paid demos

Of course, you should also check out the various booths for freebies (hey, you never know!) and the food! 

What will The Bailiwick Academy do in Cake Fiesta Manila?

We’re still cooking things up to make your Cake Fiesta visit to our booth more than awesome, but for a teaser, check out what we did last 2019! Watch the playlist below:

https://youtube.com/watch?v=videoseries%3Flist%3DPLFR7JUu_0i2TU2psIcpTTMDcgvYwstM2g

Plus, you never know who of your favorite Bailiwick instructors will drop by our booth. You might get to see them in person, have a picture with them, and ask them your burning questions! -wink wink-

Make sure to stay tuned to The Bailiwick Academy Facebook page for more details soon!

How do I join Cake Fiesta Manila 2022?

It’s easy – get your tickets here for Cake Fiesta Manila 2022. You have choices for tickets, as well as if you just want to drop by for one day only or enjoy all three days of the fiesta.

cake fiesta manila 2022

Personally, I would go to all three days – you never know what you might miss!

Have you been wanting to lose weight? Or did a recent doctor’s examination tell you that your blood sugar is too high? Well, we all know the solution to that problem: cut down on sugary treats. But what if you have a sweet tooth (like a lot of us do)? Don’t worry: there are plenty of keto dessert foods you can choose from. Just for you, we put together a list of the most delicious keto desserts – well, in our opinion, at least.

And yes, these keto dessert options are sugar-free and still delicious. Pick up any of them, and you can be sure you’re still following doctor’s orders!

What exactly is keto?

But before anything else, what exactly is keto? To be more specific, the term “keto” refers to a ketogenic diet. According to Healthline, it’s a low-carb, high-fat diet that offers many health benefits. 

Undergoing this diet has many health benefits, so many people choose to switch to this lifestyle. One of the benefits is weight loss. Going keto may also help protect you against diabetes, cancer, epilepsy, and even Alzheimer’s disease.

So, a little disclaimer before we continue: we’re not doctors or nutritionists. We’re just sharing with you what we know. If you want to try a ketogenic diet, consult your physician.

Anyway, when you do this diet, your goal is to achieve ketosis. Ketosis is a metabolic state where your body uses fats instead of carbs for fuel. To reach ketosis, limit your carbohydrate intake to a certain amount and fill up on fats instead. 

What does going on a ketogenic diet mean for the food you can eat?

Well, to put things simply, all the meal plans you will make? None of them will involve any carbohydrates or sugar whatsoever. That means you’ll say goodbye to silvanas, brownies or cookies, Spanish bread, and more.  

If you love sweets and carbs, that last sentence probably made you shudder with displeasure. But as we mentioned, there are various keto dessert foods that you can eat instead. They taste sweet but are practically 0 carb sweets. 

What are examples of different keto dessert foods?

What’s on this keto dessert list? To be honest, if we wrote everything down, it would take us DAYS. So what we’ll do instead is mention just a few keto desserts we find delicious. 

So, something to consider is that most of them will be made with almond flour or coconut flour. Artificial sweeteners or monk fruit give that sweet taste. They will taste a bit different from the usual taste of our favorite desserts but are still delish keto desserts. 

(For a list of keto-friendly ingredients, check out this article from Good Housekeeping.)

In short, you don’t have to say goodbye to your favorite treats. You just have to find desserts that are keto-friendly.

1. Keto snack or desset – Cheesecake fat bombs

fat bombs cheesecake the bailiwick academy keto dessert foods

What the heck are fat bombs, you ask? Well, they’re dense balls that are full of fat-rich ingredients, like coconut oil and avocado. They can make you feel full at once and satisfy your sweet cravings. 

So anyway, these cheesecake fat bombs taste like a peanut butter cheesecake and make a great snack. Make sure you keep them on hand for any sudden sweet cravings. You can also enjoy them for breakfast (cause why not?) or as snacks.

2. Almond flour keto chocolate cake

Your almond flour keto chocolate cake will look just like any regular chocolate cake… but it’s keto-friendly!

This is one of the usual keto desserts you can buy. Who says you can’t enjoy chocolate cake while you’re on keto? You won’t have to forego eating this classic dessert. Just substitute regular flour for almond flour, and you’re good to go!

3. Keto foods – Brownies

the bailiwick academy brownies keto

Does eating brownies give you comfort? Well, even if you switch to a keto diet, you can still enjoy them! Carb-free brownies are possible. We bet you won’t even notice the difference in taste!

4. Filipino Keto dessert – Bibingka

bibingka kakanin the bailiwick academy

Did this surprise you? Yes, you can still eat one of the most delicious kakanins ever! You can breathe a sigh of relief, especially since December is coming up. It would be a sad Christmas if you couldn’t eat bibingka. Let’s hope more keto Filipino desserts come out.

5. Ice cream

keto ice cream the bailiwick academy

Yes, there is such a thing as keto ice cream! You won’t have to worry about your cool, sweet cravings being left unfulfilled. Different flavors are possible as well.

6. Mug cake – a keto dessert for one

mug cake keto the bailiwick academy

A mug cake is literally a cake inside a mug. Mug cakes are popular as dessert foods because they’re good enough for one serving. If you’re the only one who is going to eat a cake, you won’t want to make a whole cake, right? 

So anyway, a keto mug cake is possible, and with different flavors too! 

7. Keto dessert – keto pie

pie keto pie keto friendly foods the bailiwick academy

If you want to eat a pie instead of a cake, you can! Just make sure that your pie crust is made with low-carb ingredients. Also, the toppings can be chocolate or fruits. To keep with the low-carb theme, make sure to find out which fruits are keto-compliant. Avocado is an example of a fruit you can eat while on a keto diet.

8. Egg custard

the bailiwick academy egg custard keto

Keto egg custard? Why not? This baked dessert is smooth, thick, and creamy and tastes just like the usual custard.

9. Carrot cake

carrot cake the bailiwick academy keto

A carrot cake is another classic dessert. And yay, celebrate, because you won’t have to stop eating this either! A good keto carrot cake is one that is so moist and delicious, no one will know it’s made from keto ingredients.

10. Matcha keto cake

If you like unusual desserts, matcha is for you! It’s already non-overly sweet, then when made with a keto-friendly recipe… Well, let’s just say it’s perfect. You might have to stop yourself from eating too much!

Make your own keto dessert foods with The Bailiwick Academy!

If you’re a cheesecake lover, you might be sad that we didn’t mention cheesecake at all in the list above. Well, there’s a reason for that: we saved the best of the keto dessert foods for last. 

We have a new class: Keto Cheesecakes

Our newest instructor, Ms. Chiqui Dingcong, will be teaching this class. She’s the best person to teach it because she herself is currently living the ketogenic lifestyle. 

Take this class, and you’ll no longer have to buy keto cheesecake; you’ll be making your own versions! Make rich, creamy, decadent cheesecake goodness with cheesecake recipes that are sugar and carb-free!

You’ll learn to make Keto Burnt Basque Cheesecake, Keto Chocolate Cheesecake, and Keto Strawberry Cheesecake. A bonus recipe of Keto Chocolate Chip Cookies will be included in this class. 

Of course, not only can you eat these keto treats, but these recipes are also great for a business. With more people shifting to a healthier lifestyle, you can be sure that there’s a market for keto-friendly desserts. 

Get your business to appear when people Google “best keto sweets to buy.” Enroll now at The Bailiwick Academy!

First Things First

Annyeong!

How’s everyone doing? I hope that amidst the global pandemic, you are all perfectly safe and healthy!

For those residing in the Philippines, Metro Manila and its immediate proximity is back under the Modified Enhanced Community Quarantine (MECQ) for at least two weeks, because of this, some businesses have gone back to closing its doors, temporarily, I hope.

This pandemic has affected thousands, if not millions of lives and businesses, so we are hoping that you are one of those who still continue to strive and chooses to push through, whether it be a home, online or a small business that you have started.

We have to keep surviving, working and living.

This situation is a test for all of us, so please, stay at home and stay optimistic.

I think the best thing to do at times like this, is to put your attention and focus somewhere less stressful.

Keep yourself busy.

Cook, bake, bond with your family or explore new things that you can learn, and who knows?

You might just discover a skill you never thought you had in you? Right?

We should take this opportunity instead to learn new things, which we weren’t able do when we were on our regular busy schedule.

Look at me, writing the day away as if nothing is wrong outside.

I know it’s cliché to say that it’s all in the mind, but come to think of it, it sort of is, right?

You have to take care of yourself physically AND mentally. It’s not just always about our body.

You know they work together.

So, wherever you are in the world, stay home, stay safe, always wear a mask, and stay positive (in the mind.)

Cakes

Do you bake or sell cakes and pastries online?

Is it probably time to level up your cake game and gain that edge?

Are you planning to do all this?

Then let’s talk about cakes.

What does make a cake special? Aside from the fact that it is present almost always on special occasions?

The icing or decoration? Filling? Toppings?

Okay, these are all important factors, but, if you haven’t tasted a particular cake, what makes you want to try it?

Probably the decoration, right? Me too.

I know that the taste of the cake itself may be all too common, but the design and artistic presentation?

Wow.

Not to mention that without it, your “cake” will look like a dull, boring ordinary bread or pastry.

There may be a couple of ways to design your cake, using different types of icing, fondant, coupled with coloring agents, or maybe an airbrush.

It’s just a matter of knowledge, and with your imagination, possibilities are endless.

Whenever one decorates a cake, bakers may use the same ingredients but I can say that there will always be a distinction as each is their own masterpiece.

Everyone has their own style and trademark.

Just like a painter or a singer.

Some bakers are more comfortable with fondant, some with buttercream, just like artist who works comfortably with different medias or canvasses.

If you’re one of those having a hard time decorating a cake, don’t give up. It just needs practice.

A lot of practice.

As in every kind of art, you don’t start off perfect.

You learn, you develop, you practice and then you hone your skills. Constantly.

Like a knife that needs to stay sharp to make that perfect cut every time.

I know the cake industry is very competitive, It’s just a matter of patience and time.

Yes, there are a lot of famous bakers and maybe you feel some sort of inferiority with how they make their craft and how their cakes look, but just like you, they started from learning first, then developed their skills in the process.

Hey, don’t give up.

The New Norm

Let’s not talk about commercial bakeshops as they tend to get too generic, and at this point, people have learned to look beyond names.

Commercial bakeshops have now become some kind of run-to when you didn’t have days to order for a certain occasion.

People today love to try new things out, they risk disappointment just to find something out of the norm.

Why?

Because we grew up having the same brands around, and people looking for new styles or new names is just the perfect chance for you to introduce your product.

Just be sure your product is perfect as it can be by the time people have given your product a chance.

People are learning to see beyond mainstream and are now more open to unfamiliar brands.

In a way, big names don’t seem to matter anymore, especially when it comes to food, they’ve become more of a benchmark rather than an actual first choice.

If a person likes your version of a particular dish compared to a big restaurant? There’s no hesitation that they will order your product.

Price, is not a matter of discussion either. Unlike in the fashion industry, big names get to raise their prices higher than others, regardless whether they use the same materials or have the same quality.

With the food industry on the other hand, the quality and taste of your food dictates your worth.

Not the name.

Guess what? It’s time to make your own.

Decorating With Buttercream by Queen of Hearts Couture Cakes

Evolution

From the evolution of trend, let’s head on to the evolution of cake designing.

Everything you see on a cake probably serves a purpose, just like the filling in each layer to prevent it from sliding, apart from addition in flavor.

Fondant – for example, was developed as a softer alternative to royal icing and to insulate wedding cakes from hot weather to extend its life. Yup. Decorative and efficient.

Imagine from a simple layer of icing and a few flower candies, generations enjoyed this type of cake.

Not anymore. People are looking for something new, something fresh in sight.

They want complicated designs and unique flavor combinations. Sometimes icing grazed with a fork just wouldn’t cut it anymore.

People nowadays wants sculptures made from fondant, or artistically painted cakes.

Patterns on plainly laid icing seems to be too boring and old school.

Icing on cakes has been around for ages but the evolution and progress hasn’t stopped.

Buttercream has been around since the 17th Century and various versions have come up.

There are different types of buttercream; Swiss, American, Italian and a couple more.

Each was created for different purposes, pastries, situations and conditions as they vary in texture and density.

Some sweeter than the other, some smoother.

Texture is more important than you think as this is an important factor as to how manageable it is to handle your buttercream.

The easier it is to handle, the less prone you are to making mistakes.

But what’s this Korean buttercream that we’ve been hearing of lately?

If you’re a baker or simply loves baking, you’ve probably heard of this, or even tried making one.

This is another version of buttercream, probably the most recent development in buttercream icing.

Have you chanced upon those beautiful and colorful floral cakes and are inspired to try it out too?

It’s hard to miss these alluring cakes because it definitely will catch your attention if you ever come across it.

Are you interested in learning not only how to make the buttercream but also how to design intricately detailed floral cakes?

Lucky you, you may be learning it today.

The K Dream

Interesting story:

Korean buttercream was developed and patented by JooHee Kang, a Korean (duh) artist more popularly known as GG.

As an artist, she is one to be obsessed with details.

She didn’t have formal training in culinary or baking but it didn’t stop her from developing or creating something that will soon be known worldwide.

As she was fascinated by vast floral cake designs, she wandered and experimented on creating a buttercream that’s vibrant, manageable, and one that will uphold the design for a longer period.

Korean buttercream or “glossy” Korean buttercream became an instant hit because of the intricate floral details you can create with it.

Not only does it produce vibrant colors because of its gloss factor, but its texture is perfect that in can be managed into realistic looking designs.

No wonder this buttercream became an instant hit around the world, not only for professional bakers but for those who bakes at home. How versatile is that?

Now, are you an entrepreneur who wants to upgrade your cake decorating skills, or maybe someone who’s just starting and trying out your luck in the field of baking?

Maybe someone who does this as a hobby at home and wants to impress your family?

What’s stopping you from creating your own floral cake?

You lack the recipe? The skills? The proper tools and techniques?

As I’ve said, today, just might be your lucky day.

The Course

Korean buttercream is fairly easy to make, you may have come across a recipe or two somewhere in the inter-web.

Have you tried it? Or do the designs you see intimidate you?

Knowing the recipe is one thing, knowing what to do with it is another.

Not only will this course which is conducted by Jing Fernandez hand you over a fool-proof recipe of her version of Korean buttercream, but you will also get to learn the technique of making different designs and details.

Also, Korean buttercream is known as the “glossy” Korean buttercream, because, well, it’s glossy, but this version also offers MATTE Korean buttercream!

You’ll be able to make whichever fits yours or your client’s taste!

Now’s the perfect time to enroll in this class and maybe… no, most-likely, by the end of the MECQ, you’ll already be able to make impressive cakes to cater to your family and clients.

Why Us

You probably will be asking, “why enroll with a fee when I can see an array of buttercream recipes online?”

Let us explain, Jing Fernandez is the pioneer of modern Korean-style buttercream flower piping in the Philippines.

Just like GG, she is self-taught and is now teaching locally and overseas for over 5 years.

Like I said, every artist has their unique distinction and this is what separates Jing Fernandez from the rest.

Her realistic hand-piped floral cake decoration especially in wedding cakes made her popular in this industry.

Not to mention her unique taste in color combination and presentation which surely caught the attention of cake decorators here and abroad.

As she shares knowledge, she didn’t stop from learning as well, as she trained with the most popular buttercream experts in Korea, namely Kim N Cake and The Flower Company.

Every day she is able to share her knowledge to more and more aspiring bakers through this online class.

Finally, this is the answer to your question, Jing Fernandez has the most experience and credential when it comes to Korean buttercream handling and decorating in the Philippines.
