Sometimes, I too am guilty of messing up a recipe, even though it’s all there in black and white. Reading the recipe all the way through before you begin is the first step to avoiding mistakes. It’s not only important to understand what the process will be so that everything flows seamlessly, but sometimes a recipe will, say, call for 2 cups of sugar. Then within the recipe it states that only 1 cup goes in the cake, and the other cup goes in the caramel sauce. If you’ve already gone ahead and put two cups in the batter, you’ve got a mess on your hands!
