Instead of muffin mix, and keeping with the theme, I sent each of our guests home with a mix to make Cinnamon Honey Bun Coffee Cake in a Mug! (I found the recipe here.)
Supplies:
- Yellow Cake Mix (I was able to make 9 favors from each box)
- Brown Sugar
- Pecans
- Cinnamon
- Clear Baggies and Ties
- Snack Baggies
- Labels for Topping Packets
- Colored Paper Bags
- Coordinating Ribbon
- Colored Paper & Card Stock for printing tags and labels
- Hole Punch and Scissors
Directions:
Measure the following into a baggie, Seal & Tie off.
1/3 cup yellow cake mix
1/3 cup yellow cake mix
2 tsp brown sugar
1 tsp finely chopped pecans
1/4 tsp cinnamon
Attach Tag:
Empty Cake mix into mug.
Add 2 tsp Oil, 1 T. Water, 1 Egg White, whisk well.
Sprinkle topping packet on & cook on high in microwave for 2 minutes.
I also included optional oven directions, which I tested out since I don't have a microwave and wanted to test the recipe before giving it away! ;)
Next I printed out a poem found online for the cover, along with the image from the invitations, etc, and glued them onto some coordinating paper and then to the bags:
A bun in the ovenSuch great joy
Will it be a girl?
Or will it be a boy?
Only time will tell
Whether we'll need pink or blue
We know we'll be ready
Thanks to you!
After placing the Mix and Topping in the bag, I punched a couple holes, added the ribbon, and that was it! They were so easy, even I could make them!!
How absolutely cute!! I love that idea...wish I had a shower I could throw...I'm gonna keep this in mind though! Too cute, along with the litle dress pins!
ReplyDeleteYou'd be a great party coordinator! Your baby shower was beautiful!
ReplyDeleteOh, if only you could have seen my pulling my hair out a week before when I still had NO IDEA what I was going to do for the party. lol! With All Hallows Eve/All Saints Day I hadn't had any time to think about it and was SUPER overwhelmed by the thought.
ReplyDeleteIt all came together in the end though, lol!
Thanks for posting this - I was going to ask you what the recipe is because Lil Guhl really loved hers and wants to make it again.
ReplyDeleteI thought they were great too!
