Brand new onto the market, this is a steal at $1.29 As bakers are aware, converting pounds to cups isn’t simple maths – it varies by ingredient. This app converts common baking ingredients between volume and weight units plus you can add your own too.
The app is intuitive enough to not need any instructions. Tap the units to choose between volume (teaspoons, tablespoons, cups, fluid oz, millilitres, litres, quarts) and weight (ounces, pounds, grams, kilograms). Tap the ingredient to get a searchable list of choices with preset volume/weight ratios. Categories include flours, sugars, oil and shortening, syrups, dry goods, dairy, and produce, each with several items. If you can’t find an item you want, you can add it in and set the ratio. Available for iOS, no Android version at the time of writing.

You simply can’t go past this one. This tool is not only great for the handyman; it’s great for us decorators too. Very accurate and easy to use, all you need to do is put down a sheet of plastic wrap on top of your cake then use then use the app to see if your cake is level. Cheaper than buying a level from the hardware store. This is priced at $2.49 Available for iOS and Android.
