If you find you've run out of toothpicks this holiday season and need to keep your cakes intact, push a piece of (uncooked) spaghetti into the top of your cake to keep plastic wrap or a soft box lid from smudging the frosting.
You can also use a piece of spaghetti to mark your page in a cookbook or spear hors d'oeuvres on party platters. Hot foods might soften the noodles, so this works best for cold fare, like cherry tomatoes and chunks of mozzarella and basil.
You can also light candles! When you don't have long matches but you do have plenty of candles, use a piece of spaghetti to fire them all up in one go. Also handy for lighting a candle in a deep holder.
Test baked goods to see if they're done: Poke a piece of spaghetti into the center; if it comes out clean, your treat is ready to eat.
