by richuroxx:

For baking, probably the simplest use of the math is temperature counting/conversion. It could be used for counting the ratio between the ingredients (flour with baking soda, etc).

For cake decorating, probably the math discipline to use is geometry

it use progression that are thought in additional mathematics...for example when we make a cake with many layer, we must fix the difference of diameter of the two layer. So we can say that it used arithmetic progression. When the diameter of the first layer of the cake is 8" and the diameter of second layer of the cake is 6", then the diameter of the third layer should be 4". In this case, we use arithmetic progression where the difference of the diameter is constant that is 2. When the diameter decrease, the weight also decrease. That is the way how the cake is balance to prevent it from smooch. We can also use ratio, because when we prepare the ingredient for each layer of the cake, we need to decrease its ratio from lower layer to upper layer. When we cut the cake, we can use fraction to devide the cake according to the total people that will eat the cake.

On a large scale you need to calculate what ratio of ingredients are needed. You also need to be more mindful of the ordering of supplies.

It is preferred that you use baking cups so they will not stick to the pan or crumble when you try to eat them. If you are making them for a party or event, stick with baking cups. Otherwise, when you just feel like making some, it is recommended that you use Vegetable Cooking Spray :)
