Unlike cooking, baking is a science and requires precise attention to recipe, and accurate measurements. Little things people tend to not pay attention to, like the way you measure a cup of flour, or whether you are using a liquid or dry measuring cup, can make all the difference in the outcome of your baked good.

Spoon the flour, gently, into your measuring cup until it is completely full and overflowing. (Do not pack it down or shake it, as this will compact too much flour into your cup than desired.) Level it off, by dragging the a flat edge across the top edge of the measuring cup (back of a butter knife, metal spatula, etc.). Repeat if necessary. Add to your recipe as directed. 🎀Find me @LindsayAnnBakes & tag YOUR creations with #LindsayAnnBakes ♡♡♡ MY FAVES! ♡♡♡ PINK HAND MIXER: http://amzn.to/2w8qDu1 PINK STAND MIXER: http://amzn.to/2wet0tu PINK CUCAKE PAN: http://amzn.to/2vgB0gD PINK CAKE PAN: http://amzn.to/2iAD8tJ PINK SILICONE BAKING MAT: http://amzn.to/2wxJhN2 MY FAVE BAKING PANS: http://amzn.to/2wet6S4 PINK WHISK: http://amzn.to/2xmItYH PINK SPATULA: http://amzn.to/2izHgKd PINK BLENDER: http://amzn.to/2wei5QB PINK MINI FOOD PROCESSOR: http://amzn.to/2weeCBF PINK BOWL SET: http://amzn.to/2wxWSno EDIBLE GLITTER GOLD STARS: http://amzn.to/2vgB3ZC EDIBLE GLITTER HEARTS: http://amzn.to/2xmu9j1 EDIBLE GLITTER SPARKLES: http://amzn.to/2w7Y8wr ♡♡♡ ABOUT ME! ♡♡♡ Q&A WITH LINDSAY ANN: https://youtu.be/7ZPa4MRxK6g Hi, I'm Lindsay Ann!
