There is a recipe using a mix and I think it fills 8 mugs. Then I found these recipes which I haven't tried yet but they sound good. CARROT CAKE IN A MUG (1 mug cake) This carrot cake recipe makes a wonderful individual gift. It's also a two part gift because you present it in a mug. After the cake is baked and drizzled with glaze, place it in a small clear plastic or cello bag and tie it with raffia, twine, or curly ribbon. Tie a gift tag into the ribbon. 1 mug, oven proof and has the volume of 2 cups 5 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon granulated sugar 1 tablespoons brown sugar 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon 1/8 teaspoon salt 2 tablespoon shredded coconut 1 tablespoon raisins or walnuts 2 tablespoons grated carrot 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 1 egg, lightly beaten GLAZE INGREDIENTS: 1/4 cup powdered sugar 1 teaspoon milk PINEAPPLE CAKE IN A MUG (2 cup mug) After the cake is baked and cooled to room temperature wrap it in a clear bag with ribbon or raffia tied above the mug to hold the bag closed. Another way of presenting this gift is to place the cake baked in a mug in a small wicker basket lined with a napkin or tea towel and include several bags of herbal tea or a small can of gourmet coffee. 1 oven proof mug with a volume of at least 2 cups 1 tablespoon melted butter 1/4 brown sugar, packed 4 ounces pineapple tidbits, drained 1/2 cup all\-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon baking powder pinch of salt 3 tablespoons granulated sugar 2 tablespoons butter, room temperature 1 egg 3 tablespoons milk Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Stir in dry ingredients and stir until blended. Add milk and stir until batter is smooth. Pour into mug allowing room at the top for rising. Bake for 25\-30 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool on wire rack. PUMPKING BREAD IN A MUG (serves 1) After the bread is baked and cooled, place the bread in the mug in a clear plastic or cello bag and close it with curly ribbon or raffia.

Add pumpkin, egg, and vegetable oil and stir until well blended. Pour batter into mug allowing space at the top for rising. Bake for 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean. Allow to cool to room temperature. Make glaze by mixing the powdered sugar and lemon juice; drizzle over the bread.

Pour batter into prepared mug (3/4 full for rising space) and bake for 25\-30 minutes until toothpick inserted comes out clean. If you make any let me know how they turn out.

Hi gals, Actually, I got my Hadley mugs at the Louisville outlet store. They are for sale in Michigan at gift shops for 3x what I paid. The outlet is hit or miss...sometimes I find lots of treasures, sometimes none. We're not in Louisville often, but when we are, I like to stop. Besides my mugs, I've found cute coasters with all sorts of motifs. Found one that said White Lake for a gf whose family had a cottage there. I got about 10 coasters with my sorority name on them and doled them out to friends who are "sisters." I bought several others with designs that meant something to me or a friend. They make them for special orders and many of those at the outlet stores are either seconds or overruns. It's a fun store and worth a visit if you're in the area.

I buy either Cafe Pilon or Cafe Bustelo pre-ground espresso that comes in vacuum-packed bricks. The important thing for me is that they provide a very consistent espresso grind that allows the coffee to work well with my inexpensive espresso maker. When I would buy whole beans and grind them myself, the result was too coarse and too fine at the same time.

Hi tj starkey, This might be a bit of an overkill but have you considered using rubber cement or epoxy? It should be fine for what you'll be using it for. Rubber cement is malleable under varying temperatures and epoxy is meant to harden and hold into place whatever two pieces that you want stuck together. It's also quite durable but relative to rubber cement, it won't remain as flexible, relatively speaking. We hope this information will help you make a more informed decision on your home needs.
