I got this recipe from my sister a while ago and finally made it today. So good. I just left the cakes in the mugs for eating and sprinkled a few mini-marshmallows on top for artistic effect.

Rob was able to pick up some boxes yesterday afternoon and I spent the evening deciphering pictograms. Here's what we ended up with:
