Suggested Flavor Combinations

Lemon cake mix − lemon pudding

Yellow cake mix − chocolate pudding

Devils food cake mix − chocolate pudding

Pineapple cake mix − coconut pudding

Select a large coffee mug. Make sure that it contains no metallic paint as it will be

used in the microwave. Check it to ensure that it holds 1 1/2 cups of water.

Decorating the cups (optional)

Paint on the cup if you like. DecoArt Ultra Gloss Acrylic Enamel is one brand of

craft paint that can be made dishwasher safe by baking the painted cup in the

oven (instructions are on the bottle of paint).
