Thank you Miss Laura. This sounds like a perfect afternoon or midnight snack thing. Put a little scoop of vanilla ice cream on top for extra kicks. Merry Christmas

That would make a perfect coffee mug for me. Oh my I will have to try that recipe with granny smith apples. Well your mug cakes and your YouTube channel have something in common as both are so (Sew) very easy and fun. :)
