i am a young baker living in colorado. Being a teenager with high ambitions to be a baker and raging emotions, i sometimes get frustrated about recipes not working before my loving mother comforts me saying it may be the altitude. though i must admit i usually don’t have the patients to try out the recipes again, cupcakes are unavoidable. after talking to experienced high-altitude bakers, i think you are on the right track. keep it up you give us all hope!

I live in Quito and have been using “Pie in the Sky, Successful Baking at HIgh Altitude” with excellent results. It’s available at http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0060522585. Good luck!

Just moved to Colorado from sea-level Rhode Island 4 months ago. This is the conversion chart I use – so far, it’s worked perfectly: http://www.highaltitudebaking.com/ Sounds like Susan Purdy is the authority on the subject so you might – given it’s a WEDDING we’re talking about! – want to look at buying her book “Pie in the Sky”. Good luck!

So delighted for both of you. It’s quite an adventure, isn’t it? I echo the others’ amazement at tackling your own wedding cake, but I’m sure someone with your skills will figure it out.
