Turn Any Round Pan Nonstick—No Grease Needed!

Baking in summer is the best, but cleaning sticky pans? Not so much. Here’s my favorite hack to make any round pan nonstick—no grease required! 1️⃣ Grab a sheet of parchment paper that’s big enough to cover your pan. 2️⃣ Fold the parchment to match the pan’s round shape, then trim off any extra edges. 3️⃣ Make a vertical cut at the top of the folded paper, lining it up with the pan’s wall. 4️⃣ Unfold and fit the parchment into your pan. It should sit perfectly inside. 5️⃣ Pour in your batter, bake, and watch your cake slide right out—no sticking, no mess! This trick works especially well with stainless steel pans. Your cakes will look perfect, and your pans will stay spotless. Fall baking just got a whole lot easier! #bakinghacks #fallbaking #nonstickpan #Food #Cooking

Party hacks! Sheet Cake Slicing Made Simple

Figure out the size of your sheet cake and how many people you want to serve. The bigger the slice, the fewer servings you’ll get, so plan ahead. Move your cake to a no-slip surface. A cutting board mat or dish towel under your cake board keeps things steady and safe. Score the top of your cake with a flat spatula or butter knife to mark out your serving sizes. This makes it way easier to get even slices, and you can do it before your event. Use a long, thin knife (not serrated) and wipe it clean between each cut for crisp edges. Cut along your scored lines, pressing down and dragging the knife all the way through. For super clean cuts, try unflavored dental floss. Press it down along your scoring lines, then pull it out for a neat slice. Serve and enjoy! #SheetCakeTips #CakeCutting #BakingHacks #Food #Cooking

Cut out a whole square perfect brownie?

Let your brownies cool for at least 1-2 hours on a wire rack. This step is non-negotiable if you want clean cuts and fudgy centers. Grab a serrated or plastic knife. I usually reach for a plastic knife because it glides through brownies without tearing them up. For perfect squares, use a ruler to make notches every 2 inches around the edges. It sounds extra, but it’s worth it for those bakery-style pieces. Dip your knife in hot water before each cut. Wipe it clean between slices to keep the edges sharp and crumb-free. If you’re into gadgets, a brownie divider or a bar tray makes things super easy—no cutting required! Cutting brownies doesn’t have to be messy. With a little patience and the right tools, you’ll get those Instagram-worthy squares every time. #BrownieTips #BakingHacks #DessertLover #Food #Cooking

No oven cake? Yeah, you heard me. A pressure cooker works just fine.

Mix up your favorite cake batter—no need to change a thing from your usual recipe or box mix. Grab a pan that fits inside your pressure cooker. Metal, glass, or silicone all work, just make sure it fits with a little room to spare. Grease the pan well and dust with flour to prevent sticking. Pour in your batter and smooth it out. For a stovetop pressure cooker, skip the water, remove the gasket and whistle, and spread salt on the bottom. Preheat for 2 minutes, then set your pan on a stand inside. Bake on medium for 5 minutes, then low until done (check with a toothpick). For electric pressure cookers, add a cup of water and a trivet, set the pan in, and use the cake or high setting for half the usual bake time. Let the pressure release naturally, then check for doneness. Seriously, the results are super moist and fluffy! #PressureCookerCake #BakingHacks #NoOvenNeeded #Food #Cooking

Keep Your Fondant Cake Fresh for Days!

If you’re prepping a fondant cake ahead of time, wrap the whole cake tightly in plastic wrap and keep it at room temperature for up to 3 days. Use a cake carrier or, if you don’t have one, just flip a big bowl over it. For cakes with perishable fillings (like mousse or fresh fruit), wrap it up and store it in the fridge for 2–3 days. Just know the fondant might sweat a bit when you bring it out—let it sit at room temp before serving. For long-term storage, freeze the cake. Chill it in the fridge for 30 minutes first, then wrap it in plastic wrap and foil. Pop it in a freezer bag or airtight container and freeze for up to a year. Thaw in the fridge before bringing to room temp. Slices dry out fast, so cover the cut side with frosting or wrap the whole piece in plastic wrap. Store at room temp for a day or two, or freeze for up to a year. Always check for mold or weird textures before eating. Enjoy your cake! #FondantCakeTips #CakeStorage #BakingHacks #Food #Cooking
