A fluid ounce of margarine weighs an ounce. If you have a food scale, you can save a lot of greasy measuring cups by weighing your fats. (An ounce of vegetable oil weighs 24 grams, so that's not as catchy, but it's still useful.)
whenever i make something from a box mix (i.e. brownies, pancakes, waffles, etc), i add just a bit of vanilla to the mix before cooking, whether the recipe calls for it or not - usually i just pour it into the cap of the bottle (it's roughly 1/2 tsp). it doesn't seem like much, but it makes a world of difference.
i also sprinkle sugar in the raw over the tops of muffins just before they go into the oven - it doesn't really change the taste, but it makes for a really nice presentation.
This isn't so much a tip but something I love to do: mixing up liquids. if I'm making blueberry muffins use blueberry juice instead of soy milk and cut the sugar a bit.
This is obvious - wait for things to cool before removing them from the sheet, tin, pan. It really makes all the difference in how it holds.

Whenever I do this, the tops of my breasts come out perfectly rounded.
