1 Use a syringe filled with frosting to expertly decorate cookies and cakes.

2 To keep cookies moist, store them with an apple wedge.

The cookies will absorb some of the apple’s moisture, keeping them soft and ready-to-eat for much longer.

3 Make this DIY cake-release mix and your cakes will never stick to the pan again.

All you need is shortening, oil, and flour. And it’s vegan! See the full recipe here.

5. Follow this chart to make literally any color of frosting.

6. If you don’t have food coloring, you can use Jell-O to color frosting.

See the recipe here.

7. If your brown sugar is brick hard, microwave it in a baking dish covered with a wet paper towel for 20 seconds.

Or, put it in a 300ºF degree oven for 5 minutes.

8. Keep your brown sugar soft from now on by storing it with a slice of bread.

You can also use a large marshmallow. See more here.

9. You can swap avocado for butter in cakes to make them (a little) healthier.

10. Use a box grater to save your burnt cookies or muffins.

Just lightly grate the charred bottoms off of them and they’re basically perfect. You can also use a box grater to grate frozen butter for delicious pie crusts and pastries.
