School Event Baking: Scale Templates

Use scale drawings to plan cakes, dough sheets, and recipe batches.

From Templates to Recipes

A bakery is scaling recipes for a school event. Use the labeled drawing measurements, not measurements taken from the page. A scale of 1:5 means 1 cm on the drawing represents 5 cm on the actual item.

Use this rectangular cake template for Questions 1–3. Its scale is 1:5. Both labels give drawing lengths.

The recipe calls for a frosting border around the entire outside edge of the cake. How long will that border be?

What is the area of the actual cake's top?
