The Mug recipe works.
MIX
Combine 1 standard cake mix (18 oz.) with 1 4-serving size (3 oz.) instant pudding mix.
CAKE
In SA mug or small bowl, combine 1/2 cup of above mix with 1 egg, 1 tablespoon water and 1 tablespoon oil. Microwave on HIGH 1 minute, or until cake reaches desired doneness (some people like it still a little liquid).

How many mini cakes does this make?
Do you think it's a good demo?
Do you need any type of frosting?
I have a show on Jan 4th, my recruit's first show, and one of her friend's birthday is on that day, so we are thinking about a cake demo...
The host/recruit is doing the Jerk Chick Nachos... and I'm demoing the dessert.
It's her show, but I'm doing it for her 'training'...
I want something easy, something that she'd have the products for her future shows...and since this is a repeat crowd for me...i've done many shows with them...I want a "WOW" factor.
Thanks!
I don't have the SA Mugs, but I have plenty of SA sm bowls.

Thanks for you quick response!!
I'll have to give them a try.
Do you eat it out of the bowl, and if y ou put frosting, do you do it after it comes out of the micro?
or is it like the Fluted micro cake, you put it in before it gets micro'ed..?
Thnx
sorry for all the questions..I should just try it out!

When I add frosting, I add it before I microwave it. It sinks down and makes a pool of liquid frosting at the bottom. 
And, yes - I eat them right out of the bowl. It's easier with the mug, because you can hold on to the handle. If you want to, you can turn them out onto a plate. The Small Bowl cake looks cool on a small square, because the cake ends up square, too.
