   We ❤ this onlinement!

   I bought these at the Dollar Tree last May for a “quarantine baby shower.” They were perfect because the Dollar Tree versions have just one cake mix/ frosting pouch in the box (the ones from the grocery store are a better deal but those boxes hold four cake mix and frosting pouches in one box. It’s really only an issue asthetically because I liked the look of the box verses the pouches.) I put together clear gift bags for every “guest” with an individual box of cake mix, a favor, and any items they needed to play the games and dropped each one off on their porch the day before. On the day of the party we got together virtually to celebrate the new mommy. 🙂

   Amy, we did something similar! It was my son’s 8th birthday and we were in lockdown. We hosted a zoom birthday party for him and distributed mug cakes, chips, drinks, and needed supplies for games. It was so fun! We’ll always remember his 8th 😊

   I’ve also used the mug cakes as a fun way to dress up a gift card for birthdays. Add the cake mix and gift card to a cute mug and you’re all set!

   My Dollar Trees nearly always have the regular boxes with 4 packets (but not frosting) in various flavors.

   I have bought the 4-pack of cake mix and frosting at 99Cent Only store near me, but it’s been awhile. They were fun!

   The regular 4 packs are only $2.97 at Walmart making that a slightly better deal if you intend to buy a lot of them…. which I do cause they are delicious 😄

   My nine-year-old spendthrift spotted these at Dollar Tree a while ago and onlinemented “What a ripoff! There’s only one in the box!” I was so proud that she finally internalized my lessons about Dollar Tree not always being a bargain! She knows I buy the four-packs when they are .50-$1. But I do love the idea of using these single serves as gift add-ons or favors! I filled Starbucks mugs with individually wrapped snacks for my son’s teachers one year. These would have been a fun addition.
