Believe me that if I don't have a cupcake tin I won't have sealer's for a mason jar haha

[PattiLynnQ]

Cool! I wonder if Kool-aid could replace the jello? It might make for a brighter color and flavor?

[alexiskerr]

Hahaha I love how when your oven beeped you said "it's okay it's my oven not yours" because in the last video people said when they heard your oven beep they thought it was their oven.

I always put my butter in a ziploc bag in a sink of hot water for maybe 5 minutes if I need it softened fast. Just check on it because if you leave it too long it will melt. I also use the intact egg shell to scoop out any pieces I may have dropped in. It works really well.

“That’s barely green. That’s gr...” 😂😂

Maybe adding a little water to the jello to dissolve the granules and make the colour darker may help

[kandaceperkins]

I think the mason ring trick works better if you flip it the other way so the smaller end is up. It'll hold your wrapper tighter at the top.

[ekalbach]

Just fyi, you can totally soften butter in the microwave without it melting! I do it all the time- just heat it for 4 intervals of 5-7 seconds with a different side of the butter stick facing up each time. Softens it super quickly without it melting :)

wait I thought everyone used an ice cream scoop to make cupcakes? I've literally done it as long as I can remember. they always come out identical if you know how to scoop lol

[cbernadette]

If you get cheaper bags for icing, put a little tape over the corner before you cut it and it will strengthen it up!

[violetcabot]

You did the Jell-O dying in your cookie hacks video for Christmas cookie icing last year or the year before!

Who has like 12 mason jar lid things to use instead of a cupcake tin though 😂 some of these hacks technically work but are just so unuseful and silly

[StardustandMadness]

I think the ice cream scoop is so you get the same amount in each case rather than being easier to clean. Sorry if someone has already said that, it’s Christmas morning here in Australia and I don’t have time to read all the comments. Merry Christmas everyone!

When you use parchment paper you lay it onto the dough. You will need to slightly flatten the dough by hand, and then 'roll it out' but the parchment paper trick does work...just not how you were instructed. Fathead dough (keto dough) is made using the parchment paper technique.

"It's like eating a cupcake with no icing on it."

You mean a muffin? 😂

[kelllyannn]

I will use part of the cracked egg to get egg shell pieces out. I saw it online somewhere and that typically works for me!

[juniipurr]

I honestly think it's more common to have a cupcake tray than mason jars.

[jordanvanrooyen]

For the cupcake tray thing with the mason jar lid you probably should have turned it upside down, that wouldve helped keep the shape :)

[lisabrown]

I have some Wilton cupcake scoopers. It was a set of three, one for a mini, regular and jumbo size cupcake. They work great. 😀
