How Can I Tell When My Baking is Done?

Oh goodness, if I had a dime for every time I fretted about whether or not my baking was done, I’d be a millionaire by now. Okay, that’s a bit of an exaggeration, but it’s something we all stress about a little. We worked hard on our creation and we darned well want to eat it. Here’s how to tell if your baked goods are done.

• You can tell if a cake or loaf is done if you stick a toothpick in the middle and it comes out clean.
• You can tell if muffins are done by lightly pressing them. If they spring back, they’re done.
• You can tell if cookies are done when they just start to get golden around the edges. Take them out sooner, rather than later or they may burn on the bottom.

Now go bake something yummy!
