I've googled to no luck looking for a recipe conversion area...all i
seem to get is conversion of measurements although i include in the
search recipes. Does anyone know of a website that can give me a
conversion of recipes that were made for 4 or 6 people, down to one or
two? Thanks

You divide down, unless there is something that shouldn't be divided
down.
The math is easy, I'm sure I've seen pocket calculators that will help you
do it, but knowing about the recipes and ingredients is another thing.
And any "conversion website" won't be dealing with that.

Yes, it's pretty simple. I don't understand what the problem is.
Cafeteria at work used to serve a great 'banana split cake' and the
manager gave me the recipe. It served 200 and I kept dividing it in
half until I got it down to serve 8-10 people. It took less than 5
minutes to get the proper measurements.

hmmmmmmmmmmmmm. . .
recipes + "one serving"
("About 1,170,000 results")
<http://www.google.com/search?q=recipe+"one+serving"&hl=en&num 0&lr=&ft=i&cr=&safe=images&tbs=>
"cooking for one":
("About 246,000 results (0.22 seconds)")
<http://www.google.com/search?q="cooking+for+one"&hl=en&num 0&lr=&ft=i&cr=&safe=images&tbs=>
To my astonishment Google even produced ONE result for "one serving
angel food cake". . .
