1.0 INTRODUCTION
Mathematics is important in almost all field in world. The mathematics of cooking often
goes unnoticed, but in reality, there is a large quantity of math skills involved in cooking
especially in baking and decoration of cake. Math has a lot to do with baking. Baking is
focused around different types of math. Baking can teach math and they will not even
realize it
Baking a cake required two main techniques, which is cooking technique and of course
measuring technique. Measuring technique for example measuring the amount sugar,
flour, amount of water, shape of cake, temperature needed for the cake to bake, setting the
oven timer, provide basic math practice for young children.
Besides, for decorative purposes, most cake will be covered with cream. Decorating with
cream needs mathematics. Well cake bakers if they're making a symmetrical cake need to
get all the angles of the cream decorations right so they don’t want one side to have a 30
degree angle and the other to have a s0 degree angle of cream. That would make cakes to
become less attractive.
The math involved in baking is a much simple mathematical system. A person only needs a
basic knowledge of math in order to succeed. This is because even though there are many
math calculations, it is all simple measurements and most can be done with a calculator if
needed. Always double-check ones’ math in order to not ruin the dish that is being
prepared.
2.0 – PART I
There are several uses of Mathematics in cake baking and decorating such as measurement of ingredients, calculation of price and estimated cost, estimation of dimensions, cake decorating, calculation of baking time, and modification of recipe according to scale
Amount of ingredients used should be accurate to produce a perfect cake. Measuring the amount of ingredients such as, baking soda, flour, sugar, should be in proper way to maintain the taste of the cake
Before a cake is being produce, a rough calculation is needed to be calculate such as the cost needed to buy ingredients, cost to buy other materials such as aluminium foil, and of course the amount of electricity needed to bake a cake.
Before baking cake, size of cake should be estimated. These included the volume, height, diameter and shape of cake. Cakes may come different heights and shape such as triangle, round, trapezium and, rectangle to meet the requirement of customers.
Cake decorating is one of the frosting and other edible decorative elements to make otherwise plain visually interesting. Alternatively, cakes can be mould into three-dimensional persons, places and things. In many areas of the world, decorated cakes are often a focal point of a special celebration such as a bridal shower, wedding, or anniversary.
Time needed to bake a cake is needed to estimate before baking. This is because, size of cake affect the baking time. Therefore estimated time should be calculated to make sure cake is not over baked
Modification of recipe according to scale require mathematics skills. Most recipes give guidelines as to how much a single batch will produce. But what if you want more? It seems too time consuming to mix up another batch. What if the recipe makes only small rectangular size cakes and you need to double the size? Clearly, double is two times more than original size, so we can multiply all the ingredients by two to make a larger batch

3.1 – Question 1
1 kg = 3800 cm3
h = 7 cm5 kg = 3800 x 5 = 19000 cm3
V=πr2 h19000 = 3.142 x r2 x 7
r2=1900
3.142 Χ 7
r2 = 863.872 cmr = 29.392 cmd = 2rd = 58.783 cm
3.2 – Question 2
The cake is in round shape. Therefore the maximum value ofd = 60.0 cmh = 45.0 cm
a) Different height from 1.0 cm to 45.0 cm is used to calculate the diameter. All the values is tabulated below

b) (i) The range of height that is not suitable :
h < 7 and h > 45
As i stated in (a), the maximum value of diameter should be 60 cm and
maximum value of height is 45 cm. Any heights lower than 7 cm will result in the
diameter of the cake being too big to fit into the baking oven while any heights
higher than 45 cm will cause the cake being too tall to fit into the baking oven.
(ii) The dimensions that i think most suitable for the cake is 29 cm in height and
diameter of 28.88049994 cm which is approximately 29 cm. This dimension is
most suitable because it is more symmetrical, balanced and easier to be
decorated.

(ii) a) Based on the graph,
When h = 10.5 cm,
1h = 0.095
From the graph (red line), when
1h = 0.095 , d2 = 2300
When d2 = 2300, d = √2300 , d = 47.95cm Therefore the value of d is approximately 48 cm
b) Based on the graph, When d = 42 cm , d2 = 1764
From the graph (blue line), when d2 = 1764,
1h = 0.075
h =
10 .0075 = 13.333cm
Therefore the value of h is approximately 13.3cm
3.3 – Question 3a) From the dimensions that i have suggested in 2(b)(ii), the height of the cake is 29 cm,
the diameter is 28.88049994 cm and the radius is
28 .88049994 2 = 14.44 cm
The volume of cake without cream :h = 29.0 cm , r = 14.44 cm
Therefore volume of cake without cream is 19000 cm3
14.44 cm
29.0 cm
The volume of cake with cream :
The volume of cake with cream, V = 3.142 x (15.44)2 x (30) = 22471 cm3
Therefore the amount cream used is :Vcream = 22471 cm3 – 19000 cm3
= 3471 cm3

Therefore the amount of cream needed for triangular shape cake is Vcream = 23641.4 cm3 – 19000 cm3
= 4641.4 cm3
(ii) Trapezium Shaped Cake Cake without cream :
Volume of cake without cream V = 19000 cm3

(Value 2 cm for each side is obtained by scale drawing) Plan view of cake Volume of cake with cream :
V =
12 x (33.6 cm + 16.8 cm) x 31.9 cm x 29 cm
= 23312.5 cm3 Therefore the amount of cream needed for triangular shape cake is Vcream = 23312.5 cm3 – 19000 cm3
= 4312 cm3
(ii) Rectangle Shaped Cake Cake without cream :
Volume of cake without cream : V = 19000 cm3
Cake with cream :
Plan View Front ViewVolume of cake with cream :V = 27.6 cm x 27.6 cm x 30 cm = 22852.8 cm3 Therefore the amount of cream needed for triangular shape cake is Vcream = 22852.8 cm3 – 19000 cm3
= 3852.8 cm3
*(All the values are only estimated based on the assumption that the layer of cream isuniformly thick at 1 cm )
c) Based on the values of cream that i obtained from four shapes of cakes, round cake requires the least amount of fresh cream to be used which is 3471 cm3
4.0 – PART III
Method 1Differentiation
Volume of Cake without creamV = πr2h19000 = 3.142r2h -------------------①
Volume of Cream = Surface area of cylinderV = πr2 + 2 πrhV = 3.142r2 + ( 2 x 3.142 x rh)V = 3.142r2 + 6.284rh -------------------②
From equation ①h = 19000 -------------------③ 3.142r2
Substitute Equation ③ into ②
V = 3.142r2 + 6.284r 19000 -------------------③ 3.142r2
V = 3.142r2 + 38000 rV = 3.142r2 + 38000r-1
Differentiate V respect to rdV = 2(3.142)r – 38000 ------------------- Minimum value turning point, dV = 0 dr r2 dr
0 = 2(3.142)r – 38000 r2
38000 = 6.284r r2
38000 = 6.284r3
r = 18.22 cm
Therefore, substitute the value or r = 18.22 into Equation ③ = __19000__ 3.142(18.22)2
= 18.22cmThe dimension are r = 18.22cm , h= 18.22cmMethod 2Quadratic Function
Let f(r) = Volume of cream
r=3√380006 . 284
r = radius of round cake
Use same equation as above methodVolume of Cake without creamf(r) = πr2h19000 = 3.142r2h -------------------①
Volume of Cream = Surface area of cylinderf(r) = πr2 + 2 πrhf(r) = 3.142r2 + ( 2 x 3.142 x rh)-------------------②Factorize Equation ②f(r) = 3.142(r2 + 2rh)Do completing the square for the above equationf(r) = 3.142 r + 2h 2 – 2h 2 2 2
f(r) = 3.142(r + h)2 – 3.142h2
Since the value of a = 3.142, thus The minimum value = -3.142h2
When r = -hTherefore substitute r into Equation ①19000 = 3.142(-h)2h19000 = 3.142h3
h=3√190003 .142
h = 18.22 cm
So, to find the value of r, substitute the value of h = 18.22 into Equation ①19000 = 3.142r2(18.22)
r=√190003 .142 Χ 18 .22
r = 18.22cm
The dimension are r = 18.22cm , h= 18.22cm
I will not choose to bake a cake of such dimensions because the height is 18.22cm which is quite tall. This makes the cake less attractive. Furthermore, the diameter of the cake is 2 x 18.22 = 36.44 cm which is quite small to withstand such a tall cake and makes the cake to become unstable. Since the cake is too tall, it is too hard to handle the cake.
5.0 FURTHER EXPLORATION
a) From the question, it is stated that :
The height, h of each cake is 6cmThe radius of largest cake is 31cmThe radius of 2nd cake is 10% smaller than 1st cakeThe radius of 3rd cake is 10% smaller than 2nd cake
Therefore,The radius of 2nd cake is 90% X 31 cm = 27.9cmThe radius of 3rd cake is 90% X 27.90 cm = 25.11The radius of 4th cake is 90% X 25.11 cm = 22.60
The progression will be
31, 27.9, 25.11, 22.60…
a = 31, r = 9
10
V = 3.142r²h
Volume of 1st cake = (3.142)(31)²(6) = 18116.772Volume of 2nd cake =(3.142)(27.9)²(6) = 14674.585Volume of 3rd cake =(3.142)(25.11)²(6) = 11886.414Volume of 4th cake =(3.142)(22.60)²(6) = 9627.995
18116.772, 14674.585, 11886.414, 9627.995, …
a = 18116.772, r = 0.81
The volume of cake shows a geometric progression
b) From Part I, the question stated that “a kilogram of cake has a volume of 3800cm3”This means that 15kg of cake will have : 15 kg X 3800cm3 = 57000cm3
Therefore Sn=
a (1−rn)1−r , where Sn = 57000 ; a = 18116.772 ; r = 0.81
57000=18116 .772 (1−0 .81n)
1−0 .811083018116. 772

So, the maximum number of cakes that the bakery needs to bake is approximately 4 cakes
6.0 REFLECTION
Additional Mathematics project work taught me billions of creative work. Before conducting this project, I found that cakes are delicious in taste, but after completing this project work, I found that baking cakes involves lots of calculation, baking cakes involves mathematics, baking cakes involve creativeness, and baking cakes need hardworking. Round cakes looks normal, but how about a Mickey Mouse cake, or superman cake or maybe mathematical symbol cake. Looks creative but involve mathematics. Everything is mathematics. Thank to my entire additional mathematics teacher because I can apply all the formulas and technique that they taught me in class. Most important thing here is, this project taught me how to design a cake with different shape and I’ve try 3 types, Triangle, rectangle and trapezium. I almost spend more than 2days to design those 3 cakes and its works out, making me good in drawing.
In future, maybe I will design a cake something like this using the knowledge that I got from this project work.
