    Variations for Mini Desserts

    It doesn't stop here with the different combinations you could make. Here are some other ideas to try:

    • Lemon Meringue/Curd Mini Cups
    • Black Forest Mini Dessert Cups
    • Dolce de Leche Mini Dessert Cups
    • Mint Chocolate Chips Mini Dessert Cups

    Top Tips

    You can make a variety of desserts using one cake by dividing the batter in two and adding a flavor lie cocoa powder to one of the batters. Then you can spread out each to half of the baking pan or use greased foil to separate the two cake batters if you are using one baking tray.

    If you don't want the headache of baking the cake, you can buy one already made and slice it, then cut out circular shapes to fit your glasses.

    You can also buy a cake box mix and bake that instead of making your own cake using the recipe.
