Hey everybody, I am back! Sort of. I still don’t have furniture and I have hardly any kitchen supplies, which is killing me and making it very hard to cook fun things that are worth sharing.  I am also starting to feel the effects of sleeping on an air mattress and it does not feel good 🙁 Lots of kinks in my neck, shoulders and back.  Oy.  Anyways, I got into San Francisco over a week ago and I’m loving it so far.  It’s like a whole new world compared to South Florida 🙂

And speaking of world, the US plays Belgium in the World Cup today! Go America #1.  And of course, Friday is the 4th of July! Go America #2.  So what’s more appropriate than an American flag bandana and America themed mug cake? Maybe some American beer to go with it, but I’ll save that for the game later.

This would have been perfectly easy if I had more than one mug in my possession right now, but I’m still just using the one that I carried all the way from Miami.  So instead of using two mugs to cook the two layers at the same time, I just re-used one mug.  I cut down the cooking time to about 1 minute and 30 seconds to accommodate only one mug in the microwave at a time. 

This cake is so American – vanilla cakes, frosting and some berries. And sprinkles 🙂 Yummy.
