1 cake mix any flavor
1 (4 serving size) instant pudding mix (not sugar free), any flavor
Place dry cake mix and dry pudding mix into a large bowl and blend
well with a whisk. This will be about 4 - 4 � cups dry mix and will
make 8 coffee cup cake mixes. Place � cup dry mix into a sandwich
bag. Place mix into a corner of the bag and tie it there with a
twist tie. Label this bag "Cake Mix".
Continue making and labeling packets until you have 8 packets.
Flavor suggestions:
Lemon cake mix- lemon pudding
Yellow cake mix- vanilla pudding
Devils food cake mix- chocolate pudding
Pineapple cake mix- coconut pudding
Butterscotch cake mix- butterscotch pudding
Glaze mix
1/3 cup powdered sugar
1 � tsp dry flavoring (such as powdered lemonade mix, powdered
orange breakfast drink mix, cocoa powder - Select a flavoring
appropriate to the cake you are making)
Vanilla powder sold by coffee flavorings (or use French Vanilla
CoffeeMate)
Place the glaze mix ingredients into a sandwich bag and tie into
corner of bag. Label this bag "Glaze Mix" and attach it to the "Cake
Mix" bag with a twist tie. You can also include another bag labeled
"Toppings", if desired. (Example: For the pineapple coconut cake,
include flaked coconut in a separate bag with instructions to
sprinkle it over the frosted cake.)
Select one of 8 large coffee cups. Check it to be sure it holds 1�
cups of water. That way you will be sure you have bought the size
the recipe calls for. It can't have any metallic paint on it because
it will be used in the microwave. Place one baggie of cake mix and
one baggie of glaze mix in each coffee cup. Add one baggie of
toppings into each cup also, if using. Continue with the remaining
coffee cups.
Now attach the following baking instructions to each coffee cup:
