The mug cakes, organized into a section for kids, a section for grown-ups, and mug cakes for everyone can all be prepared in the microwave in just a few minutes. With recipes for Nutella and Peanut Butter, Crushed-up Cookie, and Hidden Oreo mug cakes there's plenty to delight little ones; while the Boozy Strawberry Center, After Dinner Mint and Caf Latte mug cakes keep the adults happy, too. The second half of the book is then divided into three sections: Cookies, Cakes and Desserts, and No-bake Bakes, where each of the recipes has a cheat to speed things up. Why make things difficult with long-winded processes and waiting times when you could stuff your cookies with pretzels, candy and other confectionery? Ever wanted an ice-cream sandwich at home? Well look no further than Suzy's Ice-cream Cookies that use store-bought ice-cream in the batter meaning there's no assembly required. Try a Soda Pop Dump Cake where the only ingredients you need are a packet cake mix and a can of lemonade. Or use chocolate spread as a fast and filthy filling for a No-bake Cheesecake. Cheat your way to baking notoriety with all these and more in Miracle Mug Cakes and Other Cheat's Bakes.
