Hi, I have been looking at the recipes and found quite a lot, that I would like to try out, but I am not sure, what for example a stick of butter or Crisco or how many grams a cup of flour, Crisco or icing sugar is.
Could anyone please help?
If anyone has these ingredients lying around, please weigh them and let me know, pretty please?
I checked a couple conversion websites and one said a stick of butter was 113 grams. The other said 113.4 grams. So right around 113 grams for a stick of butter.
There's also a measurement converter in the recipes section in case you ever need it.

Here's a great chart that crimsicle posted a while back, with the weights (in grams) for different quantities of everything you'll need for cake and cookie making.
I printed it to put a copy with my scale, and it's very handy!

EDIT: Ooops, I somehow missed that you already found that chart! 
A stick of butter is 1/2 cup, don't know about the crisco sticks because I don't buy them. Maybe someone who does can tell us how much they weigh.

I was curious about this as well, so I did some searching on Google. I went to the Crisco website and couldn't find the answer, but I did find a couple of recipes that people had posted on other sites, as well as somebody's blog entry, that said that one stick of Crisco is one cup, so one stick of crisco would actually be equivalent (in measure) to 2 sticks of butter.
hth!

Thank you, I suppose my biggest problem is, that I've never seen either 1 stick of butter, nor 1 stick of Crisco. I'm putting that into my conversion chart now. Thanks very much, Butter here is sold by gram and the Crisco comes in tubs. So thank you all again, I really appreciate your help
