I have a set of SA coffee cups that I want to give as Christmas presents. I figured that I would premake the cake mix in a bag in the cup. Does anyone have a cute tag with the recipe on it?
 
Here's one I have used. I am sure I got the bulk of it from someone else's flyer on this site. In fact, I am certain the wording on the top came from someone else's flyer.

It isn't sized to fit on labels - just to cut out and tie onto mug.
