Baking time saving tips.
To soften cream cheese quickly, unwrap it and place in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave at 50% power for 1 minute. Let stand 1 minute before using. To soften butter quickly, just grate it on the large holes of your grater, and it will soften almost immediately! Spray the insides of measuring spoons or cups with cooking spray before measuring sticky ingredients like honey, corn syrup or molasses. The ingredient will slip right out. When making cookies, double the batch, then divide it in two. Roll half into logs and wrap tightly in plastic wrap. Store the rolls in the refrigerator to slice and bake later for fresh cookies anytime! When makeing pies, double the pastry recipe, divide into portions, then form each into a flattened disk, like a pancake. Wrap and freeze the extra recipes. Next time you need a pie, thaw on the counter about 10 minutes, and you are ready to roll into a pastry crust!

almond essence
Hi - New to this site. Does anyone know where I might purchase almond essence? I've been searching for several hours and cannot locate any. If I continue to have no luck, is it safe to substitute pure extract for it in a delicious, gluten free, almond tart recipe?
biscuits
Can I make biscuits with self-rising flour?
Baking
Fruits that have the same harvest time often go well together and this rule applies for strawberries and rhubarb. The tartness of the rhubarb is balanced perfectly by the sweetness of the strawberries. One recipe that showcases this pairing so well is individual Strawberry Rhubarb Tarts. Also, check out the Strawberry Page which has many nice recipes you might want to try. If the weather is warm, try the Pavlova which is a combination of sweet meringue, cream, and fruit or the Strawberry Meringue Cake which is a blend of sponge cake, meringue, cream, and strawberries.

Self Rising Flour -vs- All Purpose Flour
You dont need to purchase self-rising flour when you only need a cup or two. To turn all-purpose flour into one cup of self-rising flour, add 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt to one cup of all-purpose flour and sift together.
One of life's little mysteries: how do you solve this one?
I have several recipes that call for a topping (e.g. caramel crunch candy) to be placed on the side & top of the iced cake. How do you get the topping to adhere to the sides of the cake? So far, I have been just throwing bits of crunch at the iced cake and that works, sort of...but that'sliterallya hit & miss method! Ideas?
Cookies
What is Almond Paste and where can you get it??
Alternative to Crisco
Where can I find yeast cakes?
Butter Q
If I don't have room temp butter on hand, is it ok to melt butter and add it to the recipe instead?
How to separate eggs
A quick way to separate the yolk of an egg from the white is to break the egg into a funnel set over a glass. The white will pass through while the yolk will remain in the funnel!

What is Icing sugar? What is drinking Chocolate?
I was looking for cannoli recipes and found one here called sweet ricotta cannoli. By icing sugar do they mean powdered sugar? By drinking chocolate do they mean the dry like Nestle Quick? Anyone make these?
Q re: yeast dough
I have a recipe for pumpkin dinner rolls and also have plans to entertain 3 different times in the next 2 weeks. I would like to make 1 recipe and then bake the rolls as needed. Is that possible? How would I store the remaining dough?
