Diagonally - moving in a straight line connecting two opposite corners of a polygon.

...transferred to a greased baking sheet, and baked for thirteen minutes at 350° F...
350 degrees Fahrenheit - the unit of temperature used in the United States of America, equalling approximately 177 degrees Celsius.
...allowed to cool, and iced so that...
...3/8 of the triangles were glazed with white icing (no food coloring added), 5/16 with light pink (one drop of food coloring and one drop of strawberry extract added), and 5/16 with dark pink (two additional drops of red food coloring added)...
3/8 * 32 = 3/8 * 32/1 = (3 * 32)/(8 * 1) = 96/8 = 12 triangles
5/16 * 32 = 160/16 = 10 triangles
Geometric - utilizing a pattern of simple shapes.
