Add moisture to your cake
The Milk Bar TikTok page has shared a hack on how to keep your cakes and sponge cakes moist.
In the video, they advise you to soak your sponges by drizzling a little bit of milk on top of each layer, to be soaked up by the sponge and keep the cake moist, plus adding a burst of flavour.

Get the perfect cupcake every time
The Hungry Aussie has shared their tips and tricks on how to get the perfect cupcake every time.
They begin the video by throwing in some rice into each section of the cupcake tray. They then add the cupcake wrappers into the sections of the cupcake tray and then add the batter into the cupcake wrappers.
This method ensures that the wrappers do not stick onto the cupcake baking tray, and that they rise and bake evenly every time.

Baking cookies in a cupcake or muffin tray
You will never make cookies the same way again ???????? #HolidayTreats #cookinghack #bakinghacks #cookiesoftiktok #bakingszn
In the video, she puts some cookie dough into the different sections of the muffin tray, instead of lacing them flat onto a flat baking tray.
When the cookies bake, they form into cookie cups, making it easy for her to pour milk into the cookies and enjoy her cookies with milk simultaneously.
