My sil asked me to make her bday cake, and I am so excited. And then I realized she lives just under 6,000 ft. I live at 3500' and I've never had an issue with my cakes, but I am worried about baking at her house at the higher elevation. I've looked up higher elevation baking, and it seems so confusing, all the adding and taking away of ingredients. Will 6,000' even give my cake trouble? If so, does anyone have a straightforward recipe I can follow that would work there? Or should I just bake the cake here and take it there to decorate?

Thanks!

bake at home and travel with it -- you can enjoy your visit so much better

-K8memphis nailed it!  Bake it at home and enjoy your visit.

I have baked  at many different altitudes up to 9,500 ft.  There should be little to no problems/differences between those 2....... but it is probably best to take K8 & Sandra's advice.

I found at the highest altitudes I had to add extra liquid and bake longer......if I remember correctly that was the only difference.  I used box mixes.
