Some say that the golden age of baking has long passed. Not many people bake now that they can run to a bakery and get something that's better. Having the best-tasting treats is not the goal here, however. Just making something that people you care for enjoy has to be one of the most fulfilling things that a budding baker can savor.
The following tips may not all be useful to home bakers, simply because everyone uses different techniques. However, there is sure to be something here that will provide a quick fix to a baking problem.
* Getting an even, flat pie crust without tears where filling can seep through frustrates those new to the baking game to no end. The simple solution: plastic wrap. Cover your dough with common food wrap and start flattening it. When it reaches the

end of the sheet, turn everything over. Now that you have the pie crust on top, cover it again with a bigger sheet - sandwiching it between two sheets of plastic wrap. Now roll it to the desired thickness. You can keep this in the refrigerator as you are preparing your filling. Using plastic wrap accomplishes three things: it ensures uniform thickness, it prevents the crust from breaking, and eliminates the need for dusting and excess flour. * If you're having a pie emergency and need one in a flash, don't be above using premade mixes. There are good brands out there that could save you in a pinch. If you really need to stamp your own personal signature on a pie, dollop a couple tablespoons of sour cream in place of water as you are mixing the dough. This will make it tastier and the resulting crust will be more flaky. * Want a glossy finish on your pie? Brush it with some beaten egg whites. * Leftover pie crust makes great appetizers. Grate some Gruyere or Parmesan on top and bake for some interesting finger foods. * You can use cake mix to dust the sides of your baking dish.
It won't leave a white powdery residue because it will mix in with the batter.
* If you got some stubborn cake that clings to the dish, try returning it to the warm oven. The warmth will make it come out easier. Good old-fashioned wax paper works well too. Just make sure that it really is paper - plastic will melt and ruin your cake or pie.
* If you make a mess when making cookies, dip the spoon first in some milk and they will surely drop onto the baking sheet without too much trouble.
* A wobbly breadboard is easily remedied by placing a damp towel underneath it. Place dough away from drafty places if you want it to rise properly. Failing to do this will toughen your bread.
* Cooking spray is a great way to prevent dough from sticking to your dough hook.
* Always work with fresh ingredients. For example, to test baking powder, place on teaspoon in one-third cup of water. Toss it out if it doesn't fizz, because that's a sure sign the baking powder is too old to work properly.
This last one is a bonus. A little fresh mint, some lime juice, and a pinch of salt will make your guests talk about your strawberry shortcake
nonstop.
The baker will start by melting the one stick of butter in the oven safe dish. Take the paper off of the stick butter and place the stick of butter in the oven safe dish, then place the oven safe dish in the preheated oven until butter is melted, after the butter is melted put on oven mitts and remove the oven safe dish from the oven. Now get your measuring cup, measure out one cup of flour, pour the cup of flour in the mixing bowl. Then measure out one cup of milk and pour it in the mixing bowl, next measure out one cup of sugar and pour in mixing bowl. Next get the spoon and mix the ingredients thoroughly until mixed completely. Now pour the mix into oven safe dish on top of the melted butter, and lastly open the large can of peaches with can opener, dump all of the peaches on top of mix in oven safe dish.

What you are going to do first is put corn oil on your palms, so that the dough will not stick to your hands.
Bread was one of the first foods that was made instead of grown or hunted. Bread dates all the way back to the Neolithic era. By the twentieth century, Americans consumed bread in greater quantities than any other food. Bread has constantly evolved since the Neolithic age, but the manner in which it was served did not change drastically until 1928. Even before the bread-slicing machine, sliced bread was controversial. The act of slicing bread before it was necessary was banned during World War One (Bobrow-Strain). Thus, housewives were forced to cut bread at the table as needed so it would not go stale and be wasted. This prevented the bread from having to be thrown out unnecessarily and new bread, which could have gone to the soldiers, to be bought for the family (“Fascinating Facts”).
Buddy Valastro once said, “No matter what the recipe, any baker can do wonders in the kitchen with some good ingredients and an upbeat attitude.” I will be talking about Buddy Valastro’s family background, what inspired him to get into baking, and about his pastry specialty, which are cakes.

It was my mother’s birthday, I forgot which birthday it was. Two weeks before that day, I was thinking about what should I do for her birthday. I thought about getting her a present and a card, but it seemed to me too dull. I wonder what can I do to let her remember that birthday for the rest of her life, although I cannot remember which birthday it was. I thought of one thing that I always wanted to change about birthday — the cake. I was young and I believed that the cake was really important for birthdays. Previously, the cakes were standard, they taste and look average, they were either chocolate or vanilla flavored with standard bakery decorations on the them, on top, they were always slapped on a white chocolate “Happy Birthday” sign. There I go, I can bake a cake for her from scratch, a unique one which she will never forget about.
