Whether you’re a hardcore foodie, a crafty decorator or a budding fashionista, YouTube has plenty of tips and tricks to help you with your next DIY project or task.
DIY Food
If you love to bake for family and friends (or yourself) but often lack the time, Gemma Stafford’s Bigger Bolder Baking channel will become your lifesaver in the kitchen. Stafford’s videos include a large selection of no-fuss recipes for baked goods, including items that require no kneading and no bread machine (e.g. brioche, pretzels, donuts, etc.). Or, if you’re really running short on time, Stafford has a “1 Minute” series of videos featuring morsels like microwave cakes and cookies. Plus, if you’re stumped on what to do with any leftover holiday desserts, Stafford has an easy solution: turn them into ice cream and freeze to enjoy later.
