Baking Conversion Blog
Tips, guides, and printable charts for home bakers
38 in-depth guides on measuring, converting and baking technique — the parts most recipes assume you already know.
Where to start
If a recipe gives grams and you only have cups, start with the conversion chart guide: it explains why a cup of flour and a cup of sugar weigh very different amounts, and gives the gram figures for the ingredients bakers reach for most. If you are converting a whole recipe, the recipe converter scales every line at once.
The butter, sugar, cocoa, honey and tablespoon guides go deeper on single ingredients, where packing, sifting or a sticky texture changes the answer. The metric versus imperial guide and the kitchen scale buying guide explain why weighing gives more consistent bakes than measuring by volume — and what to look for in a scale if you are ready to switch.
