UNDERSTANDING BAKING MEASUREMENTS (This Will Change How You Bake)
One thing every beginner must understand is this:
Baking is about accuracy, not guesswork
Hereās a simple breakdown
Dry ingredients (like flour)
Should be lightly scooped and leveled not packed
Too much flour = heavy cake
Sugar
Adds sweetness AND moisture
Reducing it too much can affect texture
Butter
Adds richness and softness
Too little = dry cake, too much = greasy
Liquid (milk/water)
Helps bring everything together
Too little = thick batter, too much = runny batter
The key is balance
Every ingredient in baking has a role itās not just āmix and bakeā
Once you understand what each ingredient does, you stop guessing and start baking with confidence
Which one do you find most confusing: flour, sugar, butter or liquid?

I USED TO FEEL SO EMBARRASSED ABOUT MY CAKES
They looked fine on the outside but once you cut it open Dry
I remember one time I baked for someone and I was just praying in my heart like
āGod please let this cake be softā
That was when I realized something
Itās not just about following a recipe, itās HOW you bake it
The small things matter:
Donāt overmix
Donāt overbake
And please donāt be stingy with your liquid
Once I fixed these, everything changed
My cakes became softer, richer and people actually started coming back to order again
Be honest with me
Have you ever baked a cake that came out dry?

How I Price My Cakes for Profit (Simple Formula)
One of the biggest mistakes I see bakers makeā¦
They donāt know how to price their cakes
Some underprice and run at a lossā¦
Some overprice and scare customers awayā¦
Hereās my simple method š
Step 1: Calculate your cost
(Ingredients + packaging + gas/electricity)
Step 2: Add your time & effort
(Your skill is NOT free!)
Step 3: Add your profit
(At least 30%ā50%)
Thatās your selling price
Simple⦠but powerful šÆ
Example:
If your cake costs ā¦5,000 to make
Sell for ā¦7,000 ā ā¦8,000 minimum
Stop baking without profit ā
Start baking like a business owner ā
