as a good place to start. I don't know what to suggest for the cake crumbs though. That could vary depending on precisely what kind of cake you were using. Maybe you could try using the suggestions for bread crumbs?
The chart(s) at King Arthur Flour and kitchen scale Lori T recommends are reliable ways to go.
Another way to arrive at volume conversions is to ask a web browser. Write, for example, "5 lb granulated sugar in cups?" Abd see what you get.
