Tips For Baking:
Here are some tips on how to maximize your baking:
- Use the best quality ingredients that you can. Processed foods (Cool Whip, artificial vanilla, chocolate coating, etc.) taste like processed foods.
- If you’re submitting a pie, give yourself plenty of time to get it out of the oven and cool enough to cut before bringing it to the store.
- Cupcakes taste best the day they are made. Don’t overwhelm them with too much frosting.
- Be careful with trendy ingredients. A little bit of bacon in dessert goes a long way. Same can be true of salty caramel.
- Don’t decorate elaborately unless it’s something you do well.
