How to use this tool

  1. Enter cake diameter, cake height, outside coat thickness, filling thickness per layer, and filling layers in the displayed units.
  2. Calculate and use each labeled result for cake frosting coverage volume. Compare the result with a measured sample before committing materials.

Try this example

{
  "diameter": 20,
  "height": 10,
  "coat": 0.4,
  "fill": 0.5,
  "layers": 2
}

Accuracy and scope

Ideal cylinder with a top coat and side coat, no bottom coat. Piping, crumbs, air and leveling waste are excluded; volume is not mass.
