End of the year festivities are in full swing for my family – award ceremonies, championship games, final parent teacher conferences – each day there seems to be more on the calendar than the day before, all so we can reach the finish line and be done with school for summer. I don’t know about you, but this mom needs a little time off from homework and extracurriculars. Because, school? I’m over it. So over it.
By the time I get the kids in bed at night, I collapse in bed myself…only to find myself craving a sweet treat. My mind normally floats to cake only to be dashed when I realize we don’t have any in the house and then moves to the boxes of cake mix I always keep tucked away in my pantry. But eggs, oil, water…who has the time or the energy? Certainly not this mom after the kids are in bed. And I don’t even want to think about the clean up.
Enter Perfect Size for 1 from Duncan Hines, individually portioned cake pouches ready in about a minute.
All it takes is an 8 ounce coffee mug, some water, and about a minute. Want to get creative? Perfect Size for 1 can be made with just about any liquid (coffee, orange juice, milk, etc. instead of water) to customize the taste of your sweet treat and add-ins are encouraged. Add some chocolate chips to your German Chocolate Cake? Why not! Mix in some fresh strawberries with your Confetti Cake? Go for it! Or how about adding some crushed pecans to your Blueberry Muffin? Do it! With 18 varieties with flavors for morning, afternoon, or evenings, the sky is the limit. It’s a warm treat, just the way you like it, anytime you want it. How perfect is that?
Best of all, there are no leftovers and no clean up, which means my kids won’t know I ate cake without them (something they’d surely demand answers for) and I won’t have to stay up scrubbing the pans, beaters, or any of the numerous other things required to make a traditional cake.
It’s sheer happiness and celebration for the end of the school year (or any other occasion) in one convenient cup!
