4th: ice cake and use a butter knife tip and drag it from bottom to top around edge and from edge into the center on top

Now you never have to worry about making the icing all nice and smooth (which will give you a quick headache). Use these designs with butter cream or any soft icings like cool whip icing. I hope you enjoy!

Challenge guests to make a special one-of-a-kind drink if they don’t already have one – and allow people who don’t drink to bring in a special non-alcoholic ‘signature’ drink so they can feel incorporated into the festivities.

Hamburger Cooking Tips

While draining the grease off hamburger run a pizza cutter through it. It makes it fine not chunky. This helps when the hamburger still has chunks in it when you want it fine for taco meat or  to place in a chilli.

To make hamburger a little more healthy remove a lot of the fat. When hamburger is done cooking place in a strainer and run hot water from the tap through it. It helps remove grease and will make the hamburger lighter in texture. It will also take seasoning on better.
