Li Mei, who has been in the West Point baking business for nearly 20 years, revealed that many businesses currently have cake sizes labeled "inches", but they are actually inches. "Different sizes of cakes have corresponding molds, and the size of the cake is as large as the molds. "Li Mei said that when the general public purchases, they will ask to see the size. The merchants will show the cake box to consumers. In fact, the real size is based on the mold.
1 inch is equal to approximately 3.33 cm, 1 inch is equal to 2.54 cm, for example, an 8-inch cake, the diameter should be more than 26 cm to be sufficient, but many so-called 8 inch cake, the actual diameter is only about 18 cm.
Dimensions should be based on actual markings
According to the "General Principles for the Labelling of Pre-packaged Food Products" implemented by the State in 2012, solid foods, semi-solid or sticky foods should be marked as grams, kilograms, milliliters, and ascending units of measurement that directly reflect the quality and volume. Specific birthday cakes should also be marked with "grams or kilograms."
