A sharp knife, rinsed in hot
water, will do a good job of cutting
cake and keeping neat cake and
frosting edges.
• * •
If a small leak makes it impos
sible to use the hot water bottle in
the regular way, try filling it with
hot salt. You’ll find it holds the
heat even longer than water and
will last a long time.

Continual opening of the oven
door changes the temperature and
is a common cause of baking fail

If it is difficult to make wall
paper stick to chimney, ceilings or
