Here’s an easy gift for Valentine’s Day – Cake in a Mug.  I had fun making these to give away at Christmas, but they make a sweet present for any occasion.

Today’s tips:

-I mixed up a batch in a large jar to keep on hand.  I placed 1/4 cup of the mix into  plastic snack bags and added a snack sized nutella cup for my gifts.

– The easy tag is made using the Cheerful Tags Framelits dies, Baker’s Twine and a strip of Washi Tape.  Some of the supplies are now retired, but there are easy substitutes – click on the thumbnails below.

-I’ll include my recipe at the bottom of this post.
