Duncan Hines is introducing a trio of single-serve cake cups that are kid-friendly and easy to prepare in the microwave. The Galaxy, Unicorn and Mermaid Cake Cups only need three tablespoons of water to be added before they are baked in the microwave, after which they can be topped with the included sprinkles that match the theme of the individually portioned cakes. Each of the fun single-serve cakes boasts a differently colored base—the Mermaid Cake Cup is a vanilla-flavored purple cake and the Galaxy Cake Cup has a chocolate flavor that mimics the darkness of outer space.
The fantasy-themed cake cups from Duncan Hines are perfect for occasions when a full-sized cake may go to waste or when accessing an oven simply isn't possible.
