1.     Add mayo to cake batter to make cakes more moist

2.     You can make crunchier brownies by whipping the sugar and eggs together

3.     Use cake mix to make simple cookies (using just three ingredients! Use a box of cake mix, ½ cup vegetable oil, and 2 eggs, and baking at 350º for 10-12 minutes)

4.     You can tell when a cake is done baking when it springs back when pressed lightly

5.     Add simple syrup to revive dry cakes or keep layers moist when assembling and decorating cakes

6.     Frost cakes more smoothly by dipping your spatula in hot water while frosting
