I like the idea of mug cakes because it is a portion controlled recipe and i can enjoy it without being afraid of overeating.

I have kind of a love-hate relationship with mug cakes. I’ve made a few that I really enjoyed, but I hate how much work it takes just for one serving! This recipe sounds delicious, but if I’m going to get out and measure 10 different ingredients–including taking the time to grate an apple–I want more than one serving!
Julie Wood says
Cake is my favorite recipe, and I like the Mug cakes recipe to Caramel Apple Mug Cake. It looks easy to make, and I make it in a big mug! How wonderful to make easy desserts like these. I am going to try it!

I pushed on the Hallmark Holiday Prize Pack giveaway and it went to a foam mattress giveaway. Is that supposed to happen?
Thank you 🙂
Nicole says
The Hallmark Holiday Prize Pack giveaway is on the same blog post as the Foam Mattress Giveaway (sorry – it is so confusing to have 2 giveaways on the same blog post). Just scroll down past that mattress giveaway and you’ll see the Hallmark one. If you don’t see it, let me know because it really should be there. I’m double checking now! Thanks, Sue!
