So, today was one of my co-worker's birthday...the other day I had asked her if she was having a cake, to choose a flavor....

I went and got the ingredients for the triple chocolate microwave cake to make at the office today, since we had a group going to lunch to celebrate the birthday...

I had so many people come to me and asked me what i had made...when I told them I had just baked a cake in the microwave and showed it to them they were amazed!

I think that I just helped increase the attendence at a show that another co-worker is hosting next Saturday, since this baking a cake in the microwave in under 15 minutes intrigued them all, and it tasted delicious!!

I highly reccommend trying things like this if you are able to in your office! It will spark a lot of interest. My co-workers have been my biggest client/repeat client and host base so far!!

Just thought I would share! (by the way, I would never have bought a bundt pan if I hadn't sold at least 4 of them since my grand opening when my recruiter had hers and we made a cake then!) I love mine!

That's such a cool idea! I never thought about baking a cake in the microwave before, but now I want to try it. It's great that it sparked so much interest among your coworkers and even helped promote another event. And it's even better that it tasted delicious! I'll have to keep this in mind for future office celebrations. Thanks for sharing your experience!
