#12: Baking is a Science
I’m sure you have heard this before, but cooking is an art, and baking is a science. One wrong move, and you won’t get the results you are looking for. Any number of things could be wrong with this. For one, maybe the pan was super cold, and the bottom of the cake didn’t bake quickly enough.

Maybe the oven wasn’t preheated! Maybe, just maybe, this person forgot to check the darn cake at the right time! If you ever have a cake recipe, be sure to follow it to a T. Don’t change anything until you’re sure you know what you’re doing. You don’t want to end up with an inedible brick.
