Are you a good baker? If you are, I envy you. That’s one skill I haven’t perfected yet.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m a great cook, but baking is such an exact science that I find it a little challenging. So I’m always looking for easy baking hacks that even I can do. These holiday ones definitely fit the bill.
1. These Marshmallow Reindeer
Since I admitted to being a bit of a lousy baker, how about a recipe that involves no baking at all? You can make these fun reindeer using marshmallows dipped in chocolate. Don’t they look so cute?
2. This Baby Yoda Cookie Hack
How adorable is this Baby Yoda? I bet my fellow Star Wars fans can appreciate this little guy. But did you know you can chop off the angel head once it’s baked to make it yourself? Wow, my mind is blown, ha, ha!
3. This Cotton Candy Cupcake
Oh my goodness, isn’t this the cutest cupcake ever? It’s very easy to make. Once you bake the cupcakes, decorate them with colorful icing and edible sprinkles. Then, add cotton candy (you can use store-bought or make your own), and voilà! Easy peasy.
4. This Marshmellow Hack
Have you ever ran out of frosting in the middle of decorating your cookies? That sucks. But before you run out to get some more know this: you can turn marshmallows into a homemade frosting. Who knew that?
5. This Marshmallow Snowman
Speaking of marshmallows, aren’t they so versatile or what? You can easily make these cute snowmen using only three marshmallows, some chocolate, and your creativity. What a great project to make with your kids, too. Am I right?
