DIY Forever: Mug Cakes

For last night's DIY Forever, we made mug cakes.  Tasty, tasty mug cakes!  Mug cakes have been a bit of a trend over the last couple years, a simple pinterest search for "mug cake" reveals thousands of resulting pins.  Sometimes they end up spongy and strange and sometimes they end up magnificent and dangerous to your waistline; however, no matter the result, making them is so much fun!  There really is no baking experience like a mug cake - a one serving desert that you can whip together in about 5 minutes just using a microwave?  Yes, please!

I set out ingredients for four different mug cake recipes: Pumpkin Spice, Strawberries and Cream, Almond Cake, and Sugar Cookie in a Cup.  I found the recipes at a few great blogs and you should check them out!  Just click on the flavor of mug cake to go to the blog and the recipe.  All were fun to make and great to eat, but the far and away favorite was the Pumpkin Spice mug cake.  Such gooey, aromatic goodness that made the entire library smell like bakery heaven!


Here are the instructions we posted for last night.  As always, you can find these and other projects we have done on our DIY Forever Pinterest board.
