💡 General Tips

Baking is precise: Substitutions work best with one or two at a time
Test first: Try substitutions in batches or simple recipes before cakes
Liquids matter: Watch for wet/dry balance when substituting wet ingredients
Flavour changes: Some substitutes alter taste — test a small batch first
Temperature: Oil is liquid at room temp, butter isn't — this affects texture
