Mug Cakes

I can't wait to make some of these mug cakes when my grandchildren come for a visit! They sound so delicious and yet easy to make. It will be so much fun for my granddaughters to make and my grandsons to "help" eat.(the grandsons are younger and I haven't been brave enough to let them do much in the kitchen yet.)The directions are so easy to understand, I'm sure we will just have a very fun time making the Mug Cakes.

Got kids who love cup cakes?

If you have small kids that love cup cakes, this book is a way to satisfy the demand without making a dozen or more that often get wasted after the novelty of the cup cake has worn off. Plus as an added attraction, you make the desserts in the microwave in a mug. Easy and quick and generally no fuss and muss. You'll find clever recipes like Banana Nana Microwave Mug Cake to a delicious Heavenly Chocolate Microwave Mug Cake. The beginning of the book contains a suggested pantry list for that spur of the moment Mug Cake craving. Many who bake with some regularity will already have either all or most of the ingredients which include basics like flour, sugar, cocoa powder, instant puddings, milk, eggs, oil and the like. Actually, the one thing I didn't have was a 16 ounce mug which works best for the liquids and the cooking. The cakes are quick to make and are large enough to satisfy two or three toddlers. The author does tell you not to save any leftovers as they become hard and heavy. This is true. These are designed to be eaten right away. The aroma of your mug cake will certainly having you grabbing a spoon and eating it right out of the microwave!

'Kitchen cook friendly' microwave recipes

Simply stated, for today's busy, time-stressed homemaker, the invention of the microwave oven is second only to that of fire. From heating up TV dinners to turning out in a matter of minutes dishes from scratch that would take an hour or longer in a conventional oven, the microwave has earned a prominent place in every modern kitchen. But until now the application of the microwave to desserts and snacks has been fairly limited to heating up some store-bought treat. No more! Not with Stacey Miller's handy little compilation of make-your-own microwave treats she has collected within the covers of "101 Recipes for Microwave Mug Cakes: Single-Serving Snacks in Less Than 10 Minutes"! Now moms who just don't have the time for traditionally baked cookies, cakes, muffins, or other baked pastries, can choose from 'kitchen cook friendly' microwave recipes ranging from Apple Raisin Microwave Mug Cake; Chocolate-Covered Peanut Microwave Cake; Berry Patch Microwave Mug Cake; and Cranberry Lemon Microwave Mug Cake; to Peach Butterscotch Microwave Mug Cake; Pumpkin Pie Microwave Mug Cake; Strawberry Cheesecake Microwave Mug Cake; and Watermelon Ginger Microwave Mug Cake. Particularly nice is the succinct one-paragraph descriptive 'Note' accompanying each individual recipe. Unique and very special, "101 Recipes for Microwave Mug Cakes: Single-Serving Snacks in Less Than 10 Minutes" will prove a popular addition to any and all personal and family kitchen cookbook collections!

A must have if you have children!

This is a delightful book with very clear directions that makes delicious desserts for just one, and is also ideal if you have children because it's something that they can do themselves to make a little cake "just their size". The comments by each recipe are humorous and shows what a great sense of humor the author has. I'd highly recommend it for anyone who gets munchies and doesn't want to bother making a full sized cake.

A delightful book - especially for the single or small family

Stacey Miller created a delightful surprise in this book. I was happy to note that the ingredients are often on hand or readily available. It is perfect for a single or small family and absolutely fun to read. The author's evident enjoyment in writing this book and sharing these recipes comes through and her instructions are clear and easy to follow. Making these cakes would be a fun activity with the kids, especially on a snowy winter day. A copy of this book, along with a nice big mug would make an awesome Holiday gift that will be appreciated and useful.
