Yesterday, I decided to make some chocolate cupcakes, but I didn't want to make a full batch of them, so I opted to halve the recipe on the box mix. I looked on the nutrition label to see how much mix I should measure out. This is what it said:
Serving size: 1/12 pkg
Servings per container: 12
Hmm.
Well, look on the bright side. At least it didn't say "13".
Anyway, I started measuring out the mix myself but the powder started floofing around and spilling onto the counter. I felt myself getting frustrated and since I haven't been in the most stable mental state recently, I knew I would soon be a heap of tears, wailing about the injustice of the world. To prevent this, I decided to give up on precision and just guesstimate the amount. After I put "half" the mix into a bowl, I also decided that 1.5 eggs was too hard to measure. So I rounded up to 2 eggs.
Can you guess how my cupcakes turned out? Yep, exactly. They looked like sad small souffles gone terribly wrong.

But they were fully done and technically edible...
So I re-branded!!
I scooped out the centers, filled them with hot fudge sauce and butterscotch caramel, and served them with vanilla ice cream.
Then I named them Mini Lava Cakes. Bam.
