Lessons we have learnt from today's experience in the kitchen.
1. Read the instructions.
2. Re-read the instruction.
3. Read them once more just in case you forgot to read STEP 1.
4. Maybe type up the instructions first so you know exactly what you are doing!
5. Don't be greedy and try to make 24 little cupcakes instead of the full sized 12.
