    This document discusses how mathematics is used in cake baking and decorating. It provides examples of how different areas of mathematics such as geometry, calculus, and progressions can be applied. Specifically: Geometry is used to determine suitable cake dimensions and shapes for designing and decorating cakes. Calculus (differentiation) can determine the minimum or maximum amounts of ingredients needed and cream for decorating. Progressions can estimate total ingredients and cream needed for multi-layer cakes based on proportional dimensions. The document then provides a word problem asking the diameter of a baking tray needed for a 5kg round cake ordered by a school, given the volume and height of 1kg of cake. It also asks about fitting the

    ADDITIONAL MATHEMATICS PROJECT WORK 2/2011

    PART I

    Cakes come in a variety of forms and flavours and are among favourite desserts served during special occasions such as birthday parties, Hari Raya, weddings and etc. Cakes are treasured not only because of their wonderful taste But also in the art of cake baking and cake decorating. Find out how mathematics is used in cake baking and cake decorating and write about your findings.

    Answer: 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. 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. Progressions - 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.

    PART II
    Best Bakery shop received an order from your school to bake a 5 kg of round cake as shown in Diagram 1 for the Teachers Day celebration.
    h cm

    Diagram 1

    1)If the kilogram of cake has a volume of 3800cm3,and the height of the cake is to be 7.0cm,calculate the diameter of the baking
    Tray to be used to fit the 5 kg cake ordered by your school [Use=3.142] Answer: Volume of 5kg cake=Base area of cake x Height of cake 3800 x 5=(3.142)(

    2)The cake will be baked in an oven with inner dimensions of 80.0cm In length,60.0 cm in width and 45.0 cm in height. a)If the volume of
