When decorating a cake, before you put it on the cake stand put 3 rectangles of parchment in such a way that the cake sits in the center. After you frost the cake you can slide the parchment out leaving a perfectly clean cake stand.

For brown sugar, you could also use a slice of apple. It has to be replaced periodically, but if you have apples in the house regularly, it's a handy hack.
@marthawilson444

Some great tips.

I keep brown sugar in the fridge/freezer, it avoid the clumping…
@tamisanlatherow3103
January 25, 2024 at 1:11 am
For brown sugar, a piece of unglazed terracotta added into the tin will keep the moisture down and limit clumping without the mold issue of damp bread and marshmallows.

Four years too late to the comment section, but to suggest a Jaffa Cake is a biscuit…?!

You guys need to define what a biscuit is… those ain’t biscuits. They cookies🤣🤣🤣

If your brown sugar becomes a hard brick, put the brick in a zip top bag and take a lemon wedge and wrap it in a tissue or paper towel and put it in the bag for a day or two. Boom! Brown sugar is soft again.

My hack:
make a cake
tell no one I made cake
hide the cake
I get a whole cake to myself
@iluvdissheet

No way Barry waved some air and blew on the cake to make that design. No WAY! Show the chefs making that sexy

All those biscuits and only Oreo is familiar to US audience.

Jaffa cakes are not a biscuit. They are a cake because they go hard when stale and not soft like a biscuit would.
@edlillington3455

Blink twise if Jaffa cakes are cakes idiots

I'll experiment with making purple by mixing red and blue. I already own red and blue. If it works, no need to buy purple specially.

For brown sugar, disposable 2 way humidity pouches will also keep it in good shape. You may be familiar with these if you are a fan of cigars. Boveda makes these and they can be bought on amazon. Obviously don't ever use the same pouch that you used to keep cigars fresh for food stuff, but otherwise they work great and this is even recommended on their website.

Oreos are COOKIES, not biscuits……
@annab6726
January 25, 2024 at 1:11 am
Place one of the little white silicon packets that come with packages in with your brown sugar. They're safe and will stop the sugar from clumping. You can actually buy them new online if you don't want to use used ones.

What kind of biscuits?
@kylieadams3147
January 25, 2024 at 1:11 am
I've been making cakes for 6+ years as a business and have never heard a cake make any noise?????
The white icing hack on the other hand is a life changer definitely giving that a go.

I’m loving the list of biscuits that only brits know
@jacqslabz
January 25, 2024 at 1:11 am
I love the twirl and I would crumb up peanut butter cookies/biscuits (because I love peanut butter). And I would find some way to add chocolate to the cake.

Dude how is that a hack if I have to buy a thing SPECIFICALLY made to do it? =_=' by that logic a food processor is a food hack

A melted marshmallow is not frosting! It's a melted marshmallow and will cool down to just being a marshmallow!

Use small candies arranged in a nice simple pattern to decorate a cake if piping isn't your talent.
