Today is April Fools Day... instead of pulling the wool over your eyes, we've got some mischievous baking ideas that are sure to trick and delight your friends:

"Savory" Cupcakes: Surprise your friends and family with cupcakes that look sweet but taste savory! Try filling cornbread cupcakes with mashed potato "frosting" or topping chocolate cupcakes with cream cheese "sauce" and grated cheese "sprinkles." They'll do a double-take with every bite!

Vegetable "Cake": Who says cakes have to be sweet? Create a cake that looks like a classic layer cake but is actually made from layers of sliced vegetables like zucchini, carrot, and eggplant. Top it off with mashed potato "frosting" and watch as everyone's eyes widen in disbelief.

"Faux" Cookies: Bake up a batch of cookies that look like the real deal but are actually made from savory ingredients like cheese and herbs. Shape them like chocolate chip cookies and watch as your friends take a bite expecting sweetness, only to be met with a delicious savory surprise.

Happy April Fools Day! Visit HomeBaking.org for recipes, baking resources and more.

Milani, an Iowa highschool student, received special recognition in the Bake to Give: Maddie Kruse Youth Award program in 2023. During the chaos of Covid, she was able to donate over $1000 to the Alzheimer’s Association by baking cookies and cupcakes, and she hasn’t stopped baking since. Milani does all her baking from scratch and continues to expand her outreach in the community. If someone you know uses baking to make a difference in their community, they could be eligible for the 2024 Bake to Give Youth Award. The submission deadline for this exciting program is May 1st.
