When baking cupcakes, one must be aware of the measurements and include every ingredient listed.
I've learned that the hard way, making mistakes in my own baking endeavours.
Teaspoons and tablespoons, tipping the jar to scoop out the last of the baking soda.
I was low on soda that day, only a speck in my measuring cup.
I decided to put them in the oven anyways, pouring the batter and sporting my oven mitts.
These cupcakes ended up being clunky, stiff and similar to paving cement.
Stuck to my cupcake tin and ruining my afternoon.
Cupcakes are useless without that missing ingredient.
Helping them rise and mending them into a fluffy cake that melts in your mouth.
These cupcakes were far from that fluffy consistency, they were nothing short of a construction worker's dream.
