It's the end of the meal and everyone turns their thoughts to the piece de resistance, the dessert. How do yours shape up? Hopefully, they are masterworks. Whether they are or not, the following tidbits might help make them that much better. When decorating a cake, should you try to keep the serving platter it is on clean? If you think so, there is a simple way to do this. Put down two sheets of wax paper before placing the cake. When done, slide them out each side. The white fiber material between the orange pulp and peel can be difficult to remove. If you are having problems, dip the orange in boiling water for a minute or until the peel easily can be removed. The short time should not harm the orange pulpy area. We don't need no stink'n flour! When baking a cake, use granulated sugar on the baking sheet instead of flour. It will keep the cake from sticking to the pan and will taste a lot better as well when people dig into the bottom of each piece of cake. When you have a frozen cylinder of dough, you have to be careful when handling it. Whatever you are doing to it, make sure to turn it every 30 seconds or so. This keeps one side from becoming flat like a flat tire. You can stop dripping ice cream cones now. How? It is amazingly simple. Buy some mini marshmallows and then stuff a few in the bottom of each cone. They will form a dam that keeps the liquid from running out the bottom. Ever flipped a gelatin mold onto a plate, but get it off center. If so, you know moving it is a nightmare that rarely ends well. To avoid this problem, sprinkle water on the target plate before you flip. It makes correcting any errors a lot easier. Is it possible to get hard desserts soft again? Sometimes. The key thing required? A piece of bread. If you have hard cookies or marshmallows, throw them in a ziplock with one piece. The bread will magically moisturize them. Your dentist will probably faint if you tell him or her this, but dental floss is not just for teeth. It is a great tool for cutting cookie dough and cakes. Hold it in both hands and saw through your subject like a saw through wood. Given the endless number of desserts that exist, it is obviously impossible to nail down every last bit of advice to make your cooking turn out as optimal as possible. Nonetheless, I like to think this is a good place to start.
