Volumes of cakes were calculated from tracings of cross-sectional areas. Formulas were based on assumptions of a cylindrical shape and of cylindrical shapes with spherical or symmetrical caps. General trends in treatment differences could be detected by any of the methods, but numerical values, specific differences, and variability depended on the method chosen.
