my tips
Here are a few of my favorite tips that help make baking easier
- Buy a Scale!!!! Baking is a science and grams are much more accurate.
Dividing whole numbers is much easier than dividing fractions.
- Always have your ingredients prepped.
- make sure your ingredients are room temperature.
- use an ice cream scoop to portion your batter.
- let your cakes cool all the way before icing them
- don't over mix!
