Please clarify your intended meaning.
For simplicity, let''s assume your cake is four square feet.

Her cake is three-quarters as small as mine. I don't understand. Do you mean her cake is one square foot? Or three square feet? Or do you even mean it is bigger than yours?


Her cake is three-quarters as big as mine. Do you mean her cake is three square feet
