40 Delightful And Mind-Blowing Baking Hacks You Can’t Miss

We’ve all been there. You’re in the middle of baking a cake and you run out of a key ingredient. You’re mixing ingredients and end up with more on you and on your counter than in the mixing bowl. Baking can be a headache, but it really doesn’t have to be. To ease your baking-induced stress, you can turn to these backing hacks .

. Want A Flawless Cake? Measure Your Flour Properly.

Spoon your flour into a dry measuring cup, then scrape the excess off with a knife. Scooping from a bag causes the flour to become compressed, often giving you more flour than your recipe calls for.

2. Prevent The Whisker Splatter Blues With A Paper Plate.

Cut holes into a paper plate for the beaters, then place it above them. The paper plate catches the back splash and eases post-baking cleanup.

3. Struggling To Decorate That Cake? Grab A Cookie Cutter.

Place the decorative cookie cutter gently on top of the frosted cake. Fill the cookie cutter with enough sprinkles to cover the icing on the cake, gently pressing them in to prevent spilling when the cookie cutter is removed. The result? A perfectly shaped sprinkle decoration on your cake. Check it out here.

4. Print This Common Measurement Cheat Sheet For A Quick Reference.

Whether you’re doubling a recipe or simply like conversions, this cheat sheet is handy to have when baking. Find it here.

5. Broken Whisker? Grab A Mason Jar And Whip That Cream.

Mason jars have been taking over the Pinterest world – and for good reason. If you can’t find your whisk, pour your cream in a mason jar and shake away. 

6. Tired Of Post-Brownie Pan Clean Up? Reach For The Parchment Paper.

Line your baking dish with foil or parchment paper and then lightly butter it. You’re welcome.

7. So You Dropped An Eggshell Into Your Dish…

Wet your finger and place it near the shell. It will gravitate towards your finger, making it easier to remove it. If you can’t find them, don’t fret. Eggshells sink when baked, so finding them after will be a breeze.

8. You Can Also Use The Half Empty Shell.

That’s right. Instead of sticking your finger into the eggs, you can use the half empty shell to scoop the eggshell piece up.
