Cake Ratio Formula Cards with Ingredient Adjustment Charts

A laminated deck of 15–20 formula cards (A6 size, wallet-friendly) showing the 5–6 core cake formulas (butter cake, sponge, chiffon, angel food, etc.) with ingredient ratios by weight, plus laminated adjustment charts showing how ±10% changes in flour, fat, eggs, or liquid affect rise, crumb, and moisture. Each card includes a QR code linking to a 90-second video showing the science (e.g., 'more fat = tender crumb, less rise'). Cards are printed on food-safe, water-resistant material so they stay in the kitchen.

Value Proposition

Eliminates recipe hunting and trial-and-error by giving bakers a single, portable, science-backed reference that teaches WHY ratios matter, not just WHAT they are. No app to load, no subscription, no contradictory blog posts—just tactile, immediate, kitchen-counter-ready truth.

Target Audience

Home bakers aged 25–55, primarily women, who bake 2–4 times per month and own a kitchen scale; active in Facebook baking groups, Pinterest, and Instagram baking communities.

Key Features

  • Weight-based ratios (not cups) for precision and consistency
  • Side-by-side formula comparison (e.g., butter cake vs. sponge at a glance)
  • Adjustment matrix: 'If your cake sank, try +5% baking powder OR –10% liquid'
  • And more, with full implementation detail...

Tech Stack

Adobe InDesign (card layout and design) Figma (prototyping and user testing) Adobe Premiere or CapCut (video editing for QR-linked content) Printing/lamination vendor (e.g., Printful, local print shop for prototypes)

Original Problem

Home bakers struggle to consistently replicate successful cake recipes due to unclear ingredient ratio guidance

Home bakers frequently fail to produce quality sponge cakes because recipes lack clear explanations of how ingredient proportions affect texture, rise, and crumb structure. Bakers waste time, money, and ingredients through trial-and-error, and existing recipes provide ratios without teaching the underlying principles. This frustration drives them to search for better guidance, but most resources remain vague or contradictory.
