This is my first entry & I don't know what to write about
Hellooo,
Well, I guess you already know that I'm new at Italki and that I didn't find out know what I was going to write about, but I know now: About yesterday.
It's because yesterday was the first day I made cupcakes. I wanted to make cupcakes since the first time I watched on TV "Cupcake Wars" on TV, mostly because it seemed so easy to make. But as in the world not everything is rainbows and puppies; I had a problem: I didn't have a mixer.
So, after thinking a long time, I decided to mix all the ingredients using nothing but a fork, but it took a looooooong time. When I finally finished mixing up all the ingredients, I had another problem came out: I don't have a cupcake tray.
When I thought all my effort was in vane vain, I saw plastic glasses that I could use. So I put the mass mess in each one, and put them in the microwave (because in the hoven they would have melted), and guess what: they melted anyway. I was amazed when I opened the microwave, those plastic glasses where thick and I didn't think the microwave could reach such a high temperature. I put them out of the microwave and put them into the fridge, because I had to hide them from my grandmother, whom bought the glasses (but anyway she does never uses them). So when it was cold enough it I took them out of the fridge and ate the four cupcakes I made, and guess what: They weren't sufficiently baked.
After finishing eating the last one, I felt like my stomach was going to explode. So I layed down and fell sleep until today, waking up with a stomachache.
And that was my first entry, I hope it's OK.
Thanks for reading
Well done!

Great job!
Lay vs. Lie
Infinitive Definition Present Past Past Participle Present Participle
to lay to put or place lay(s) laid laid laying
something down
to lie to rest or recline lie(s) lay lain lying
I rested or reclined (en el pasado) = I lay down.
"I mixed up all the ingredients"is ambiguous in the context of your story because to mix up could mean mezclar o confundir. Better just to say "I mixed all the ingredients" because "mixed" is simply mezclar.
