Serving and Gifting Ideas

1. Easily slice a cheesecake by sliding dental floss under the crust and bringing the ends together on top.
2. To keep waffles or pancakes warm, place them on a cooling rack in a 225° F oven.
3. To prevent jagged edges that often occur when cutting cooled cookie bars, use a sharp knife to score the bars as soon as the pan comes out of the oven, and then cut the cooled bars along the scored lines.
4. Use a potato peeler to make chocolate curls for dessert garnishes.
5. Place cookies or bars in a basket lined with sheet fold cloth. Use a generous length of wide ribbon to tie a bow onto the handle of the basket.
6. To keep cookies from breaking in transit, put a layer of crumpled wax paper in the bottom of a small, decorative tin or box, place cookies inside, and then put another layer of crumpled wax paper on top.
