I started all my cake baking and decorating about a year ago when I lived in Central Texas. I have relocated to the Mile High City of Denver, Colorado and my baking is not the same! How should I adjust the cake recipes that I use such as the WASC to bake properly at this atltitude? Should I make any alterations to buttercream and/or cookie recipes, too? I would appreciate all input and suggestions from CC's! I have learned so much from all of you out there! Thanks!!!!!

Here you go!

Baking at high altitude is certainly an adventure. Here is a link (I hope it works) to a really helpful resource.

Oops, I didn't pay attention to your whole post. Sorry!

You don't need to make any adjustments to buttercream or other icings, but candy making is a whole other thing! I could bore you with my fudge making trials this past holiday season, but I won't .

Definitely adjust your cookie recipes in addition to your cakes. I'm sure the links provided by 7yyrt above have this info but at the most basic level, you need to reduce leavening by about 1/4 tsp for each tsp called for, reduce sugar by 2 tbs per cup and increase liquid by about 2 tbs per cup. Some recipes simply don't convert, or are much more complicated to convert.

I really appreciate your replies! The informations and links were just what I needed! Have a great week!
