Baking Science - High Altitude Baking

Have you ever heard someone say, I made this cake all the time and now that I moved to Calgary it just doesn’t work?  Well, that is because Calgary is at 3557 feet (1084 m) above sea level and baking anywhere over 3000 feet (912 m) is considered high altitude baking.  Our thinner air messes with baking recipes since they are usually written for sea level kitchens.
