Here’s some tips to make your next batch of cupcakes look and taste as if made by a professional pastry chef.

1. Prepare the pan.

Never ever grease the cupcake compartments in the pan if you don’t want your delightful cupcake wrappers to become greasy and soggy. A better thing to do is just to grease the top of the pan so that your cupcakes don’t stick to the top right after they’re taken out. And if you’re absolutely against using liners then just grease and flour the pan as you normally would and the cupcakes will still give you no trouble coming out of the pan after baking.

• You can take the big five personality test to identify what your defining characteristics are.

Its not necessary for strengths and weaknesses to have a completely different face. At times it becomes difficult to categorize a personality trait as a positive or a negative personality trait.

You may wonder how many types of personalities are there? And what characteristics differentiate them from each other? I mean you can always find out what type of personality you are by taking the big five personality traits test but let’s focus on self-made billionaires for now. Rafael Badziag, a psychology expert conducted interviews with 21 billionaires around the globe. He studied different aspects of their lives including big five personality traits in the workplace as they own their own companies. He established that the same traits that have helped make them so successful could also have been the reason for utter failure.

According to Badziag, billionaires are those individuals who have been observed to breaking the rules and having a rare sense of individuality since an early age. But these individuals keep learning and trusting their own gut while making decisions even when being warned of their decisions as insane.

He further elaborated that many a times becoming a billionaire entails risks of complete bankruptcy and successful are the ones who know when to take a leap and when to have nothing to do with the opportunity.

Its true that the billionaires became successful relying mostly on their own sense of judgement and thinking, but this also comes with the risk of losing the sense of cooperation.

This has actually happened in the past, for example, Brian Kim Beom-Su (the founder of Hangame in South Korea) regretted that he let go of an opportunity to partner up with a competitor, which would have helped boost his business even more.

Another researcher, Dr. Greg Reid observed that the top of the game players often used the trick to collaborate with their rivals in order to maintain their position at the top.

Another negative personality trait that billionaires should avoid is NOT asking for help or guidance and thinking they know it all. The reason behind this is that circumstances might overwhelm the person pulling all the shots and lead to major downfalls in the business.
