About Baking Resources
Last updated: October 18, 2026
Baking Resources is a free set of baking converters and guides. Turn grams into cups, swap one pan size for another, find a stand-in for the egg you just ran out of, and get back to the mixing bowl.
Who makes it
I'm Joan Ramos. I build small free websites, and I'm not a professional baker. What I care about is making useful things that are easy to use.
It all began with Mary's Printables, a site of free printable pages. I didn't expect much from it, and then people started writing to me. One was a teacher who found the exact worksheet her class needed. One was a parent using a chart to help a child through a hard stretch. One was someone printing something at the very last minute.
None of them cared about fancy features. They were glad it was there, it worked the first time, and it asked nothing of them. I try to build every site that way, and this one is no different.
Why a baking site
Baking is the one kind of cooking where "about right" often isn't. A recipe from another country lists grams and you only have cups. The recipe wants a 9-inch round and you own a loaf pan. You're one egg short on a Sunday night.
Most converters online give you a single number for every ingredient, as if a cup of flour weighed the same as a cup of honey. It doesn't, and that's how good recipes turn out dry or flat.
What makes good baking help
Good baking help asks what you're measuring before it gives you a number. It tells you how you're filling the cup, because scooped flour packs in more than spooned flour. And when it suggests a swap, it's honest about what that swap will change, whether that's texture, flavor or rise.
That's the idea behind every tool here. They show their working, they explain the "why," and they say plainly when a shortcut won't work.
What you get
- 16 free calculators and charts, from grams to cups and oven temperatures to butter, yeast and frosting
- A grams-to-cups converter that asks which ingredient you're measuring first
- An ingredient weight chart covering 57 ingredients, which you can search, filter and print
- A substitutions tool for 41 ingredients, with swaps ranked best first and scaled to your amount
- Cake pan and baking time converters for when you're using a different pan
- A recipe converter to halve or double any recipe
- More than 200 guides on pan sizes, substitutes, techniques, storing and fixing common baking problems
- No sign-up, and every tool works on a phone
How this site is made and checked
Here is what every tool and guide has to pass before it goes up.
- Ingredient-aware numbers. Conversions ask what you are measuring, and weights assume the spoon-and-level method unless the page says otherwise.
- Checked against more than one source. Where reliable sources disagree, we use a middle value and say so on the page.
- Honest about swaps. Every substitution says what it will change, such as texture, rise or browning, not only how much to use.
- Tested on a phone. Every calculator is checked on a phone-sized screen, because that is where most people bake from.
- Kept up to date. Each guide shows who reviewed it and when it was last updated, and readers' corrections go in as soon as they are checked.
Nothing on this site is sponsored, and no one pays to be listed or linked. The full details are on how we make this site.
If something's off
If a conversion looks wrong, a substitute let you down, or you'd like a tool I haven't built yet, email me at [email protected]. It comes straight to me.
Baking Resources is one of a family of free tools I run at FriendlyApps.
