I wish I knew these 3 BAKING TIPS that NO ONE seems to talk about

There are loads of websites and videos about common baking tips and mistakes, including a KZbin video I've done which I'll link below. But today I want to talk about some more uncommon baking tips that I feel aren't talked about enough - yet they can have drastic impacts on your baking! :)

What are some baking tips you didn't know about until recently?! 🙈 Blog Post: cakesbymk.com/recipe/3-baking-tips-you-probably-didnt-know/

[@heidid5275]

If you bake it, they will come! 😁

[@MyName-zd9pe]

​@@heidid5275 😉 Cute answer.

[@MyName-zd9pe]

Adding 1 teaspoon of cornstarch to your cookie recipe will make softer cookies. Also using more brown sugar than white sugar, will make a chewier cookie. 🍪☺️🙏✝️ 🇺🇸

[@melliedxb]

Hi MK. Thanks gor your video I have noticed you sounded like Natasha.

[@berniceboakye3423]

Pls can you give us receipts of all your cakes in kilo. Thank you

[@melissasalas8639]

I've been baking for 32yrs and even i didn't realise that sugar is a wet ingredients. Thankyou and keep your videos coming as they are great😊

[@CakesbyMK]

So glad you found the information helpful Melissa! I am honoured to have an experienced baker like yourself on my page, thank you for being here! :)

[@mickywilliams3201]

It is both a wet and dry ingredients.

[@najiyaibrahim4421]

Isn't icing sugar a dry ingredient and granulated sugar a wet ingredient🤔

[@vjohnson2400]

The simplest explanation is this - sugar is considered a wet ingredient while baking as it dissolves and turns into a liquid state while baking in the oven or when receiving heat if making caramel on the hob or stove top.

[@LKMNOP]

​@@mickywilliams3201 If you have a sugar bowl on your counter or table that's not her medically sealed, you'll notice that it forms a bit of a crust on the top that you got to break through and it cleans to your spoon even if the spoon has not been dipped in your tea or coffee. It definitely sucks up water.

[@AllanDavisArt]

You presenting skills are top notch. You have a natural and affable personality that doesnt seem pretentious or forced. Keep up the great work.

[@Im_aviik]

Very soon this channel is going to become Sweet Spot for every beginner and veteran baker🎉🎉😊

[@naomimallory]

I've always known to add sugar at the start with the wet ingredients, but I never really thought about the WHY. This explains so much!

[@jujutrini8412]

Same but I just did it because that is how I saw my elders do it. Now I know the theory.

[@COMPUTER.SCIENCE.]

I first start whipping sugar with egg white, coz I like the fluffiness effect, then other wet ingreds 😂

[@fjp9]

0:28 1. difference between conventional and convection ovens 2:18 2. effects of fridge on cakes 3:40 3. difference between white and brown sugar

[@s_j5154]

You are a great teacher. So many KZbin videos feature cooks who aren’t as thorough as you are. Thank you!

[@t.s8113]

Wow! I have been baking for a long time, but never knew these tips that you are sharing. Thank you so much. ❤❤

[@samiraesmaili7021]

What you have shared is really important for all the bakers especially homebakers.. Thank you so much ❤

[@kristymh823]

Excellent tips! Thank you MK. I recently started brushing my egg wash on the top crust of pies before I put them on the pie, right after I finish rolling it out. It allows me to get even coverage without any puddles. Not a cake tip, but baking nonetheless lol.

[@wishywashy2658]

Thank you so much for such great tips and advice that is so honest. Thank you!!

[@KaydianRedz]

Thanks for sharing MK, really appreciate these tips❤

[@sacmom3]

Your cakes are amazing. Thank you for the tips.👍🏽

Started to bake today using your channel. Just now baked a cake for the very first time ever watching one of your video and it turned out as a professional cake. Cant believe!!!. I got encouraged that I can be professional too. I really have an urge to start baking but I wanted a guide and glad I found you 😍❤️ thank you so much. Please keep making these useful videos. I really appreciate it

[@leenaislam4908]

[@oshikasupunirajapakshe6136]

Thank you so much for the tips. It's really helpful 🙏❤️

[@wasabibaby3753]

wow this helps so much! ive always used an electric oven where the heat comes from the bottom and top. i moved homes recently and am now using a fire oven where the heat is only at the top with a fan. ive struggled baking anything bc the bottom would always over cook! these tips help so much!!

[@lindseystein9676]

Hah I learned about substituting white with brown sugar the other week while making a basic pound cake. It was a noticeable difference. It didn’t rise as much, but still tasted pretty good.

[@adelezayin9252]

Ingenious! Thank you so much for the sharing! You are awesome!

Well done Maryam! A much needed video indeed🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@adamwinters448]

Well we're are lucky to have you around for all the tips that we would ever need

[@LKMNOP]

Little bits of information? You gave us a hole encyclopedia that we all needed before we started baking. This is going to be a fantastic channel. I've been watching Benjamin the baker who is fantastic but he never mentioned these tips about the oven. Or the sugar. I'm subscribing! I also like your delivery which is just fact-based and you're not putting on makeup in a picture in picture over it.

[@marymbinkar2349]

Amazing thanks

[@moniqueedwards6655]

Keep up the good work 👏 i have baked almost all of the cakes u have posted and trust me 💯 delicious and moist !! Thank you soo much

[@lenorahogue4992]

[@agathabaraka6077]

Thank you very much for the tips... great lesson for me.

[@PirateWW]

Yes please keep doing videos like this!!!!

[@jemmaj2919]

Very helpful, always wondered about the oven

[@renajagdeo8120]

Great tips, thank you MK. So i ve realised now, i have a conventional oven because if i m baking and use the below tray those cakes usually cook much faster. I m limited in terms of cake baking as i can use the centre rack!

[@gitanjalimehra1291]

Thanks for such information… really helpful 👍… bring them on

[@lenakrupinski6303]

This explains why my gluten free cake stayed soft when I covered it with buttercream. Sugar is like a preservative 🌹💗🌹

[@chrissiewindsor]

I’m 65 & have been baking most of those years, but this is the very first time I’ve come across the notion of sugar as a wet ingredient. In fact, most of the sponge cakes I make call in the recipe for butter & sugar to be beaten together before anything else. I’m intrigued.

[@Aiko2-26-9]

I'm pretty sure butter is also considered a wet ingredient.

[@SuperWoodyboy]

It's Not...all bs

[@MicukoFelton]

@@SuperWoodyboy it's a wet ingredient, because it melts. If you put sugar on the stove it'll melt and turn to caramel. If you put flour it'll toast. See the difference?

[@bookshelfhoney]

I think it all depends on the recipe, sometimes I combine sugar with the flour and other dry ingredients and sometimes it gets creamed with butter, or beaten with eggs

[@chitrasakrabani5213]

Thanks so much for this informative video.

[@vukkulvar9769]

Lovely advices from a loverly lady. Thanks.

[@Fern_Thaddeus]

Thank you very much! So well-spoken and intelligent, thanks! May God care for you and your households!

[@myJesusfilledshishilife95]

thank you so much for the oven tip

[@GiveItAGoBakes]

I never knew sugar was a wet ingredient, I've just always thought it was an exception to the rule and to add it with wet ingredients to break down the granules. Thanks for teaching me today! When I use convection my oven automatically reduces the temperature for me. I didn't realize why until today! 😅

[@CakesbyMK]

I literally used to think the same thing about the sugar haha!!

[@TastyfoodwithTooba]

Thank you for sharing amazing great tips

What a great helpful video! Thank you!!👌☺️

[@DS-bg9fl]

Thank you!! Very useful!

[@iGlimmyr]

baking tip I learned- use european butter when baking. All grocery stores have it. Irish or dainish butter works great. It has a higher milk fat % and is more stable at higher heats so it doesnt burn as easy.

[@sweettreatsoverload4296]

Does it improve the taste of your bake goods

Thank you SO MUCH for spelling out these rarely known baking facts -- you've just earned a new subscriber! Just finding out the temperature difference needed between convection and conventional ovens is well worth it, but the other advice makes this even more essential for every aspiring baker to watch.

[@jillfarley520]

Thanks, very interesting!

[@cydkriletich6538]

Thank you for this info. I will have to try a convection oven next time I bake. Also, if I’m not concerned about the color of my cake (say, I’m doing a chocolate cake), can I use 100% brown sugar, or should I do 1/2 brown and 1/2 white sugar?

[@louisaklimentos7583]

Thank you so much for your advice I used brown sugar in my banana cake as the recipe said . Another reason for a dense cake . Lol

[@rixatrix]

On convection ovens: mine adjusts the temperature automatically. So if I set it at 425F convection, it adjusts the heat to 400F on its own. If you have a convection oven, it’s worth checking whether you need to adjust the temp or whether your oven is already doing it without you knowing.
