Cooking Tips

• Just make sure that the flavor’s complement each other.
• The first three hacks which are replacing water with milk or buttermilk, adding an extra egg and adding an extra melted butter or oil, are hacks are almost always used together when making a cake mix for a result as delightful as fluffy fudgy chocolate cupcakes with homemade frosting.
• The final three hacks I kind of pick and choose an improvised face on what I have at home.

• A bit of extra vanilla won’t hurt.
