In which recipe
Are the least substitutions
Necessary?
These questions
Can tell you
success and Failure
Ask these questions
Use them
and fine fare shall be yours
Undoubtedly
Do not use these questions
And even if you use the finest mixer
You will make a failure
More undoubtedly
Choose the best recipe
Play to your culinary strengths

To make something amazing

Measure with confidence

When it is empty
Make bread
If you are unhappy
Change it to joy
If you are tiered
Find new energy
If you are inspired
Bake even more
When in doubt of size
Double the recipe
Bake

Ready
And excited
When you are most
Inspired

Success in cookies

Success comes to the one
Who is confidant
In their abilities

Failure belongs to the one
Who accepts
A failure
From the very start
Confidence makes success
None makes a failure
It is the most important
It will determine the outcome
