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. Places like WalMart and craft stores sell
plain cups.

one brand of craft paint that can be made dishwasher safe by baking
the painted cup in the oven. (instructions are on the bottle of
paint usually).

For the pineapple coconut cake include flaked coconut in a separate
bag with instructions to sprinkle it over the frosted cake.
