INTRODUCTION
Cakes come in a variety of forms and flavours and are among favourite desserts served duringspecial occasions such as birthday parties, Hari Raya, weddings and others. Cakes are treasured
not only because of their wonderful taste but also in the art of cake baking and cake decorating
Baking a cake offers a tasty way to practice math skills, such as fractions and ratios, in a
real-world context. Many steps of baking a cake, such as counting ingredients and setting the
oven timer, provide basic math practice for young children. Older children and teenagers can use
more sophisticated math to solve baking dilemmas, such as how to make a cake recipe larger or
smaller or how to determine what size slices you should cut. Practicing math while baking not
only improves your math skills, it helps you become a more flexible and resourceful baker.

MATHEMATICS IN CAKE BAKING AND CAKE
DECORATING
GEOMETRY
To determine suitable dimensions for the cake, to assist in designing and decorating cakes that
comes in many attractive shapes and designs, to estimate volume of cake to be produced
When making a batch of cake batter, you end up with a certain volume, determined by the recipe.
The baker must then choose the appropriate size and shape of pan to achieve the desired result. If
the pan is too big, the cake becomes too short. If the pan is too small, the cake becomes too tall.
This leads into the next situation.
The ratio of the surface area to the volume determines how much crust a baked good will have.
The more surface area there is, compared to the volume, the faster the item will bake, and the
less "inside" there will be. For a very large, thick item, it will take a long time for the heat to
penetrate to the center. To avoid having a rock-hard outside in this case, the baker will have to
lower the temperature a little bit and bake for a longer time.
We mix ingredients in round bowls because cubes would have corners where unmixed
ingredients would accumulate, and we would have a hard time scraping them into the batter.
CALCULUS (DIFFERENTIATION)
To determine minimum or maximum amount of ingredients for cake-baking, to estimate min. or
max. amount of cream needed for decorating, to estimate min. or max. Size of cake produced.

PROGRESSION
To determine total weight/volume of multi-storey cakes with proportional dimensions, to
estimate total ingredients needed for cake-baking, to estimate total amount of cream for
decoration.
For example when we make a cake with many layers, we must fix the difference of diameter of
the two layers. 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 decreases, the weight also decreases. 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.

Best Bakery shop received an order from your school to bake a 5 kg of round cake as shown inDiagram 1 for the Teachers Day celebration.
Diagram 1
1)If a kilogram of cake has a volume of 38000cm3, and the height of the cake is to be 7.0 cm,the diameter of the baking tray to be used to fit the 5 kg cake ordered by your school 3800 is
Volume of 5kg cake = Base area of cake x Height of cake
3800 x 5 = (3.142)(
) x 7
(3.142) = (
)
863.872 = (

= 29.392
d = 58.784 cm
2)The inner dimensions of oven: 80cm length, 60cm width, 45cm height
a)The formula that formed for d in terms of h by using the formula for volume of cake,V = 19000 is:
19000 = (3.142)()h

d =
Table 1
b) i) h < 7cm is NOT suitable, because the resulting diameter produced is too large to fit into theoven. Furthermore, the cake would be too short and too wide, making it less attractive.
b) ii) The most suitable dimensions (h and d) for the cake is h = 8cm, d = 54.99cm, because itcan fit into the oven, and the size is suitable for easy handling.
c) i) The same formula in 2(a) is used, that is 19000 = (3.142)(
)h. The same process is also
used, that is, make d the subject. An equation which is suitable and relevant for the graph:

b) Three other shapes (the shape of the base of the cake) for the cake with same height which is
depends on the 2(b)(ii) and volume 19000cm.
The volume of top surface is always the same for all shapes (since height is same),
My answer (with h = 8cm, and volume of cream on top surface = = 2375 cm):
1 Rectangle-shaped base (cuboid)
height
widthlength
19000 = base area x height
base area =
length x width = 2375
By trial and improvement, 2375 = 50 x 47.5 (length = 50, width = 47.5, height = 8)
Therefore, volume of cream= 2(Area of left and right side surface)(Height of cream) + 2(Area of front and back side
surface)(Height of cream) + volume of top surface
= 2(50 x 8)(1) + 2(47.5 x 8)(1) + 2375
= 3935 cm

2 Triangle-shaped base
width
slantheight
19000 = base area x height
base area =
base area = 2375
x length x width = 2375
length x width = 4750
By trial and improvement, 4750 = 95 x 50 (length = 95, width = 50)
Slant length of triangle = (95 + 25)= 98.23
Therefore, amount of cream
= Area of rectangular front side surface(Height of cream) + 2(Area of slant rectangular left/right
side surface)(Height of cream) + Volume of top surface
= (50 x 8)(1) + 2(98.23 x 8)(1) + 2375 = 4346.68 cm

3 Pentagon-shaped base
width
19000 = base area x height
base area = 2375 = area of 5 similar isosceles triangles in a pentagon
therefore:2375 = 5(length x width)
475 = length x width
By trial and improvement, 475 = 25 x 19 (length = 25, width = 19)
Therefore, amount of cream
= 5(area of one rectangular side surface)(height of cream) + vol. of top surface
= 5(19 x 8) + 2375 = 3135 cm
c) Based on the values above, the shape that require the least amount of fresh cream to be used
is:
Pentagon-shaped cake, since it requires only 3135 cm ofcream to be used.

When there's minimum or maximum, well, there's differentiation and quadratic functions.The minimum height, h and its corresponding minimum diameter, d is calculated by using thedifferentiation and function.
Method 1: Differentiation
Two equations for this method: the formula for volume of cake (as in 2(a)), and the formula foramount (volume) of cream to be used for the round cake (as in 3(a)).
19000 = (3.142)rh (1)
V = (3.142)r + 2(3.142)rh (2)
From (1): h =
(3)
Sub. (3) into (2):
V = (3.142)r + 2(3.142)r(
)
V = (3.142)r + (
)
V = (3.142)r + 38000r-1
(
) = 2(3.142)r (
)
0 = 2(3.142)r (
) -->> minimum value, therefore
= 0
= 2(3.142)r
= r
6047.104 = r
r = 18.22
Sub. r = 18.22 into (3):
h =
h = 18.22
therefore, h = 18.22cm, d = 2r = 2(18.22) = 36.44cm

Method 2: Quadratic Functions
Two same equations as in Method 1, but only the formula for amount of cream is the mainequation used as the quadratic function.
Let f(r) = volume of cream, r = radius of round cake:
19000 = (3.142)rh (1)
f(r) = (3.142)r + 2(3.142)hr (2)
From (2):
f(r) = (3.142)(r + 2hr) -->> factorize (3.142)
= (3.142)[ (r +
) (
) ] -->> completing square, with a = (3.142), b = 2h and c = 0
= (3.142)[ (r + h) h ]
= (3.142)(r + h) (3.142)h
(a = (3.142) (positive indicates min. value), min. value = f(r) = (3.142)h, corresponding value
of x = r = --h)
Sub. r = --h into (1):
19000 = (3.142)(--h)h
h = 6047.104
h = 18.22
Sub. h = 18.22 into (1):
19000 = (3.142)r(18.22)
r = 331.894
r = 18.22
therefore, h = 18.22 cm, d = 2r = 2(18.22) = 36.44 cm
I would choose not to bake a cake with such dimensions because its dimensions are not
suitable (the height is too high) and therefore less attractive. Furthermore, such cakes are
difficult to handle easily.

Diagram 2
Best Bakery received an order to bake a multi-storey cake for Merdeka Day celebration, asshown in Diagram 2.
The height of each cake is 6.0 cm and the radius of the largest cake is 31.0 cm. The radius of thesecond cake is 10% less than the radius of the first cake, the radius of the third cake is 10% lessthan the radius of the second cake and so on.
Given:height, h of each cake = 6cmradius of largest cake = 31cm
radius of 2nd
cake = 10% smaller than 1st
cakeradius of 3rd cake = 10% smaller than 2nd cake
31, 27.9, 25.11, 22.599,
a = 31, r =
V = (3.142)rh,
a)By using the formula for volume V = (3.142)rh, with h = 6 to get the volume of cakes.Volume of 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th cakes:
Radius of 1st cake = 31, volume of 1st cake = (3.142)(31)(6) = 18116.772Radius of 2nd cake = 27.9, volume of 2nd cake = (3.142)(27.9)(6) 14674.585Radius of 3rd cake = 25.11, volume of 3rd cake = (3.142)(25.11)(6) 11886.414Radius of 4th cake = 22.599, volume of 4th cake = (3.142)(22.599)(6) 9627.995
The volumes form number pattern:

18116.772, 14674.585, 11886.414, 9627.995, (it is a geometric progression with first term, a = 18116.772 and ratio, r= T2/T1 = T3 /T2 = =0.81)
b)The total mass of all the cakes should not exceed 15 kg ( total mass < 15 kg, change to
volume: total volume < 57000 cm), so the maximum number of cakes that needs to be baked is
Sn =
Sn = 57000, a = 18116.772 and r = 0.81
57000 =

0.40221 = 0.81n
og0.81 0.40221 = n
n =
n = 4.322
therefore, n 4
Verifying the answer:
When n = 5:
S5 = (18116.772(1 (0.81)5)) / (1 0.81) = 62104.443 > 57000 (Sn > 57000, n = 5 is not
suitable)
When n = 4:S4 = (18116.772(1 (0.81)
4)) / (1 0.81) = 54305.767 < 57000 (Sn < 57000, n = 4 is suitable)

Conclusion Geometry is the study of angles and triangles, perimeter, area and volume. It
differs from algebra in that one develops a logical structure where mathematical
relationships are proved and applied.
An arithmetic progression (AP) or arithmetic sequence is
a sequence of numbers such that the difference of any two successive members of
the sequence is a constant
A geometric progression, also known as a geometric sequence, is
a sequence of numbers where each term after the first is found by multiplying the
previous one by a fixed non-zero number called the common ratio
Differentiation is essentially the process of finding an equation which will give
you the gradient (slope, "rise over run", etc.) at any point along the curve. Say you
have y = x^2. The equation y' = 2x will give you the gradient of y at any point
along that curve.
