Put a little sugar on it

Next time the top of your tart, cookies or cake is a bit too brown or cracked, just put some confectioners sugar into a sieve and shake, shake, shake it all over the surface. There's not much that won't look prettier with a snowy dusting of powdered sugar.

This is too true! I've done this with my brownies when they haven't turned out quite right. Now my kids insist on powdered sugar, even when the brownies are pristine.

Thanks Jill, keep up the good work.
