Sky High

Sky High 
Sometimes, in life we take short cuts and we have to live by its consequences. And this was one good example of it. I did not bother to recalculate the recipe based on the measurement of pans that I had, and I ended up with a cake that was sky high.

In the Utopia, I shall live in a big house with a huge kitchen that will house my industrial size oven, my countless pans and cooking/baking utensils. But, in the tiny kitchen that I have, my cakes and I live by the rules set by the number of pans of that I have. That requires scientific mathematical calculation of halfing/quartering/two-thirding the recipes. It's easy when the recipe is in metric. But not when the measurement is in cups! Or when I was just not in the mood to do the calculation.

But when the result unexpectedly gave me the sky high cake like this, I should never blame myself again.
