Mug cakes are so simple and so fast to make! Plus it is just a single serving! An easy treat when you are craving a piece of cake, but don’t want to get out all the ingredients, heat up the oven and wait about an hour to eat. This is the best vanilla mug cake I have made (I did double the vanilla to 1/2 teaspoon and I put vanilla in the icing too), and the sprinkles make it extra fun!

For a mug cake, you simply whisk the dry ingredients together, add the liquids and mix just until combined. (I do find it is easier to mix the ingredients in a small bowl, and then transfer them to the mug to bake.) Then if you are adding sprinkles or mini chocolate chips, gently stir them into the batter. Then bake in your microwave on high for about 45 seconds to 1 minute. The cake should feel firm to to the touch when done.

Then if you want, you can top your mug cake with frosting, whipped cream or ice cream – and maybe more sprinkles!

I didn’t wait quite long enough to add the frosting – so it all melted together in the cup – which of course, was delicious too!

Fall baking is the best! And edible Halloween decorations make creating party cupcakes so easy! These chocolate cupcakes are so flavorful because they use less flour and more cocoa. No mixer required for these.

The Wilton black cat icing decorations are the perfect size to top cookies, cupcakes or treats. They are available at discount and craft stores. The cupcake wrapper is from Fancy Flowers. Amazon has similar icing decorations and wrappers.

If a black Halloween cat can be cute, this is it!

Using icing decorations, wrappers and a few sprinkles just makes every cupcake more festive.

Not into black cat cupcakes? Pink frosting with sprinkles is always a fun option – no matter what time of the year!

If they coordinate with your mums – can you call it “fall baking?”

These beautiful lacy wrappers are from Fancy Flours, but Amazon does have similar ones. Sprinkles from Neon Yolk.

Have fun baking this fall!

Round two of the girls’ afternoon summer baking was to make cupcakes – with lots of sprinkles – of course!

These confetti sprinkle cupcakes have sprinkles in the cupcake batter – and more added on top.

Veda wanted her frosting to be pink – it turned out to such a pretty shade. Putting the cupcakes in a bowl to decorate keeps the sprinkles a bit more contained.

Lots and lots of different kinds of sprinkles are required! Big flowers, little flowers, circles and two different rainbow sprinkle mixes.

Eleanor’s favorite color is now red, so she opted for red cupcake liners and yellow frosting.

This was her perfect cupcake. I like the little flower she centered on the top. A fun project for any holiday – or a project to make any day a little more special!
