Baking Tips/Lessons

Valuable Baking Tips/Lessons learned from experience (today)!

1. Melted Skittles are extremely difficult and time consuming to work with (particularly when you don't intend to melt them).

2. The theory of baking something, "doubling the heat will cut the baking time in half" does NOT work.

3. Bringing back the phrase that my mom (Linda) repeated over and over again all throughout my childhood, "do it right the first time or it takes twice as long."

In the process of finding out Baking Tip/Lesson #1 & #2, Lesson #3 came to be very true (again). The 2.5 - 3.5 hour prep/baking time has turned into something closer to a 5-7 hour prep/baking time. Thus consuming nearly all of my Sunday afternoon and evening.

Valuable Lessons were learned today. Don't make the same mistakes I did. Enjoy!
