    We're testing and debunking viral baking hacks from 5 minute crafts and so yummy. I want to see if any of these daily life kitchen hacks actually work to make your life easier. Testing a hair straightener and a Jolly rancher to make a cupcake topper, pouring store bought icing over a cake to create a marble mirror ganache glaze, grating off the bottom of a burnt cookie, if coffee really does enhance the flavor of chocolate in a recipe, lemon baked candies and leveling a cake using tooth picks and floss. Watch to see if any of these crazy hacks work!

  • @judycolella5554
    @judycolella5554 Před 3 lety +283

    The so-called marbled hack clearly left out two very important components: first, either it needed more chocolate or the chocolate had to finish melting; and second, to get that marbled, feathered effect, the cake needed to be tilted in several directions. That's how they get the effect with paint pours - the various colors are poured out in streams on a board, and then the board is tilted, forming the swirls and marbling. Just pouring the icing in a circular motion over the top of the cake will never give you that look, no matter how much chocolate is added to the white icing. But since the whole point of these hacks is to claim they take very little time, they can't add that second component. It would also risk your cake sliding right off the plate, lol. Maybe a blow-dryer on the no-heat setting to move the icing around?

      Ya she probably got this idea from Ms. Reardon over at how to cook that, but hey the more debunkers the merrier. Maybe the content farms will get shut down if people STOP CLICKING ON THEM IN THE FIRST PLACE. that really is thebsimple solution.

      Ya that hack was ridiculously unrealistic. It could be done as others said by melting both seperate and then swirling together. The point with the content farms is some of things might work, but generally not how they show it on their videos. They often skip or omit steps needed. However the majority of the content farm hacks relaly do not work and they know it. They will throw in a thing or two that does work as described, or might work with modifactions to how they showed.
