Quick Tips for Summer Baking:
- Chill your tools: If you’re whipping cream in the heat, pop your bowl and whisk in the freezer for 10 minutes first.
- Source local: Summer desserts live and die by the quality of the fruit—hit up your local farmer’s market for the best results!
- Garnish at the end: Add fresh mint or extra berries just before serving to keep everything looking bright and crisp.
