When eating cupcakes, cutting the cake part in half and flipping it upside down onto the frosting layer like a sandwich allows for a better balance between the cake and frosting.

Checking if an egg is bad

To determine if an egg is still fresh, simply place the egg in a glass of water. If it sinks, the egg is fresh; if it floats, the egg is bad.

Homemade ice cream

To make homemade ice cream, you’ll need sugar, milk, whipping cream, salt, ice, and two Ziplock bags. Mix the milk, whipping cream, and sugar together, then pour the mixture into one Ziplock bag. In the other Ziplock bag, place ice and salt to make it colder. Place the bag with the ice cream mixture inside the bag with the ice, seal it, and shake for 15 minutes. Finally, scoop out the ice cream and serve with chocolate sauce if desired.

Wear gloves when shaking the bag

Crushed ice at home

If you want crushed ice at home, simply pour fruit juice into a Ziplock bag, seal it, and shake continuously. The fruit juice will turn slushy like crushed ice and be very refreshing.
