To prevent icing from cracking and to help keep it moist, mix in a pinch a baking soda before icing cakes.

Expect to get 1-1/2 to 2 cups of nutmeat from about 1 lb. of nuts in their shells.

To substitute honey for sugar in a cookie, cake or quick bread recipe, use 2/3 cup honey for each cup of sugar, then add 1/3 teaspoon baking soda for every 2/3 cup of honey used. The baking soda acts to neutralize the acidity in the honey. Reduce the liquid in your recipe by 1/4 cup and bake at a temperature 25 degrees lower than the recipe calls for in order to prevent over-browning.

Egg whites freeze well. Thaw them in the fridge and use quickly once they are thawed. Frozen and thawed egg whites will whip more easily and to a greater volume than fresh. Their surface tension is reduced through freezing and thawing, giving them greater foaming power.
