Mug Cakes
Mug cakes are such a great way to satisfy that sweet tooth without making an entire cake. Less effort, less mess, and endless possibilities for flavors, mix-ins, and toppings!
How do you make a mug cake?
You can use a cake mix or start from scratch to mix up the batter. Some recipes even have you do the mixing right in the mug or ramekin (extra points for fewer dishes)! Pop it right into the microwave (or bake it in the oven kind of like a cupcake). Add a scoop of ice cream on top, and enjoy a delicious, warm cake for one!
How do you remove a mug cake from the mug?
You don’t! Grab a spoon and dig on in. But if you really want to remove it from the mug, you’ll need to mix the batter in a separate bowl and then pour it into a greased mug. After it cooks, use a silicone jar scraper to gently pop it out.
Can you bake a mug cake in the oven?
Sure! Just make sure you have an oven-safe dish first. And don’t forget to use a mitt to remove it from the oven (the reminder sounds silly, but you’d be surprised how easy it is to forget and reach for that mug handle bare handed!). Here are a few fun options for oven-safe (and microwave safe) mugs and ramekins that would be great for mug cakes!

If other food will not be served – if this is a dessert party or reception only – I plan on 4-6 servings per guest. Serving in this case, however, means individual serving – not something enormous.

According to Datassential MenuTrends, 33 percent more dessert menus feature a miniature dessert option than just four years ago.

So how many desserts do you really need? If you are offering a full size dessert like a cupcake or a full size brownie, count on 1-2 per guest. With smaller desserts like cookies, macarons, bite size brownies, or mini tarts you can count on each guest taking 3 items from the various options.
According to Taste of Home, Gordon admitted that he is a big fan of In-N-Out. He explained, “Every chef in the country loves indulging in fast food. So, take me to the drive-thru at In-N-Out burger and you'll see me in the back seat with tinted windows with a Double Double.”

You'll want to make sure you have a beautiful display, but, more importantly, you want to make sure you have enough for your guests to eat! The general rule of thumb is to calculate 3 mini desserts per person. So, if your guest count is 50 people, plan to order 150 mini desserts.
A full-sheet cake (18 x 24 inches, requiring approximately 16 cups of batter) serves up to 80 people. Meanwhile, 1/2 sheet cake (18 x 12 inches and using 7 to 8 cups of batter) should be enough for 36-48 guests. And the smallest option, 1/4 sheet cake (9 x 13 inches, up to 4 cups of batter), can feed 20-24 people.
According to Emily, the fast answer to this question, no matter the event, no matter the number of people, is (drumroll please)... "Plan on one serving per person.Plus a little extra."
