People Are Sharing Their Clever Holiday Baking Hacks Online

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 voilĂ ! Easy peasy.
