This inspired me to grab some adorable vintage teacups and test out an elegant presentation for a very fun food trend\u2014mug cakes.<\/p>\n
These little cakes are cute, super fast, and totally kid-friendly.<\/p>\n
(Difficulty Level<\/strong>: Easy)<\/p>\n What You’ll Need<\/strong> <\/p>\n How to Make<\/strong> Once your darling dessert has cooled to room temperature, the real creativity begins. Grab your favorite icing recipe and your best little kitchen helper, and ice away. We used classic vanilla and sprinkle dots.<\/p>\n Encourage your child to unleash his\/her inner Shimmer and Shine and wish up some truly magical toppings for you to enjoy together.<\/p>\n Happy afternoon snacking!<\/p>\n *With the gluten free cake mix we used, this recipe happens to be gluten-free, egg-free, dairy-free and vegan so it\u2019s a great for crowds where allergies may be a concern.<\/p>\n
\n3 tbsp\u00a0whatever cake mix you have lying around (we used gluten-free*)
\n2 tbsp\u00a0good ol\u2019 fashioned H20
\n1 tbsp\u00a0apple sauce (healthy and delicious)
\n(Preschool practice for counting down AND learning to cook!)<\/p>\n
\nStep One:\u00a0<\/strong>Mix all ingredients together in microwave-safe cute cup of your choice.
\nStep Two:\u00a0<\/strong>Microwave for 90 seconds and Boom Zahramay! Your cake is on the way. Careful, it will be hot.<\/p>\n![\"shimmerAndShine-cupCakes-article1x1\"](\"http:\/\/www.nickelodeonparents.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/shimmerAndShine-cupCakes-article1x11.jpg\")
