Not good at all. I have high cake standards.

I just tried one. Yeah, it sucked.

I don't know what that is...

It's a cake recipe in "single serviing" amounts. You put it all together in a mug, mix, and microwave.

I tried a chocolate one. It was way over chocolatey and the texture was spongy and kind of gross. Plus, no icing.

I put single serving in quotes because it's really more like two servings.

The brownie is good with ice cream, I haven't tried any of the cake ones because I've heard they're terrible.

Amen.

 

It just made me mad that I didn't have real cake.

I bought my DD a recipe book of just mug desserts a few years ago. I thought it would be fun to try them out. Apparently fun=gross. We gave up hope of a tasty treat after 6 recipes.
