These baking hacks are epic and will help save you time and your sanity. There are a few of these I use all the time (numbers 1 and 10) and I had to share.

If you’ve got more baking hacks to share, leave them in the comments.

Soften Butter Quickly (without melting it)

Just heat a glass with hot water and place it over your stick of butter.

Ripen Bananas Fast

Wanna make banana bread but your ‘nanas aren’t quite ready? Just put them on a baking sheet and bake them at 325°F for about 30 minutes.

Keep Berries Fresh

I love baking with raspberries and to make sure they don’t go bad, keep them in an empty jelly jar.

Perfectly Domed Cupcakes

Fill the liner 3/4 of the way full and reduce the temperature.

DIY Mixing Guard

If your batter is splattering just cut a hole in a paper plate and you’ve got a splash guard!

Decorate A Birthday Cake

Print out what you’d like to say, cover with parchment and then use melted chocolate to pipe out the words.

Make Even Cookies

Get the same sized cookies every time by using an ice cream scooper with a trigger.

Easy Pie Crust Edging

Decorate your pie crust with a cork screw or kitchen tongs! It’s pretty and super simple.

DIY Cupcake Liners

In the middle of baking some muffins and realize you don’t have liners?  Make your own with parchment paper.

Keep Chocolate Chips From Sinking

When I add chocolate chips to my banana bread, they used to always fall to the bottom. Once I learned to coat them in flour, I don’t have that problem!
