HELPFUL TIPS

1. To keep brown sugar soft ...place 2 large marshmallows in the canister with the brown sugar .


2.Use cocoa powder to dust your pan when baking a chocolate .


3.To stop dough from sticking to your rolling pin cover your rolling pin with a never worn knee high  stocking  with the toe area cut off.
Slide the nylon over your pin , the nylon will hold an even layer of flour on the pin so you can easily flatten moist dough.


4.Let the kids paint the cookie dough. Make paint by mixing egg yolks with food colouring .
Use  brand new paint brushes ...small ones can be purchased from the craft shops or specialty cake shops .
Paint the dough before baking .
After baking the colours will be bright and glossy .


5. Messy beaters can be easily cleaned if you leave them on the mixer and run them through a bowl of hot water for 1 minute.


6.To make chocolate curls , use block chocolate at room temperature , run a vegetable peeler across the side of the block using moderate pressure to produce curls..
You will need to practice a few times to get it right.
