5 Dessert-Cup Recipes Simple Enough for Even the Most Hazardous Bakers

By: Marie

I’m going to begin this article by saying that I suck at cooking/baking. I can literally win an award for the worst cook/baker on planet earth. And I’m not exaggerating. Now that I come to think about it, maybe saying this as an intro makes the article less encouraging to read. But if you are still reading then thanks, I highly appreciate it. Even though I’m a terrible cook, I decided to gather DIY dessert cup recipes just for you and your cravings. These are easy (for a normal person), quick and yummy.
