5 minutes to heaven... apparently

Mention the word diet and suddenly your body craves all sorts of sugary treats. With nothing in the house and refusing to just accept the cravings we decided to try the cake in a mug. 30 seconds and one google search later we had our ingredient list and recipe. 

We mixed everything together and banged it in the microwave for 3 minutes. And poof we're done. One (well two) chocolate cakes. Mike had the first bite, and loved it. Forgetting that I'd previously nicknamed Mike the rubbish bin, my experience was not as good, but being the picky eater that I am I didn't expect anything else really. I'm thinking that nuked food is not a good choice for me, who'd guessed? haha. On the plus side the cooking process was fun, and I no longer have my sugar cravings (probably due to a burnt tongue.) 

Have you ever tried the cake in a mug?

If so what did you think?

Baking for my Husband

After my thank you cupcakes from yesterday's post I decided to bake a cake for my husband as he felt slightly left out. So he got his very own special cake. 

 This turned out 100% better than I imagined. I can bake amazing cupcakes until them come out of my ears, but cakes have never really been my forte. I may not look amazing, but I love using buttercream, and I love the messy effect it gives the cake. Good job really. haha.

We had to have a picture of the boy cutting his cake. He cut right through the centre of the heart, luckily not through mine. I love this man more than anything on the face of this earth, and nothing says I love you more than a homemade cake. Like they say, 'the way to a mans heart is through his stomach.' haha. I'm becoming a right little housewife. Shame it only extends to baking and not the cooking and cleaning. 

Speak Soon,
