How to Create a Chocolate Coca-Cola Mug Cake with Share a Coke
Are you knee-deep in the busy holiday season yet?
The holidays are pure insanity around here, not just in my personal life, but here on the Divas Can Cook as well.
My inbox gets swamped with questions, comments and invitations. It’s really exciting and exhausting, but yet every holiday I always seem to get through it just fine. How you ask? Two words, my husband!
Seriously guys, I honestly don’t know where I’d be without that amazing man!
When the kitchen is a wreck after a full day of filming cooking videos, he swoops right in and cleans everything up.
When I’m stressing over holiday post deadlines he takes the boys on fun adventures to get them out of the house so that I can have peace and quiet to work.
Oh and I can’t even count the multiple times he’s done emergency grocery store runs to pick up items I always seem to forget!
He truly is my saving grace around this time of year and that is why my I’m recognizing him as my “unsung holiday hero”!
I’ve teamed up with Coca-Cola’s #ShareaCoke to shine the spotlight on the amazing people in our lives that go the extra mile to make the holidays extra special.
Whether it’s the friendly cashier that always greets you with a warm smile, the dedicated teacher that helps your child make holiday gifts or even your neighbor who passes out homemade holiday cookies, these unsung heroes often go unnoticed.
Yet, they go above and beyond to make sure the people around them are happy. This busy holiday season is the perfect time to show them just how much we appreciate them. Nothing says thoughtfulness like a customized gift! Coco-Cola’s #ShareaCoke allows you to create personalized coke bottles with a name or phrase.
They are great as affordable stand-alone gifts and stocking stuffers or paired in a gift basket.
To show my husband just how much I appreciate him I created this quick and easy chocolate Cocoa-Cola mug cake gift. He isn’t much of a cook and he loves chocolate cake and Coca-Cola so this was the perfect gift for him. I placed it on the driver’s seat in his truck right before he was about to run one of my many last minute grocery store errands.
He really loved the gift!
You can easily create one of these chocolate Cocoa- Cola mug cake gift sets for your special unsung hero(s).
Simply visit shareacoke.com to create your personalized glass coke bottle. Next go to the store and pick out a large holiday microwave-safe mug. There are great deals on holiday mugs this time of year. I got mine for only $2.

My Holiday Hero is my husband! He always finds a way to hang Christmas lights outside every single year, no matter how cold it might be. He also takes the whole family out to pick the perfect Christmas tree for our home… and as much I would like the easy no mess artifiicial tree, he will not cave! I secretly love that about him though! Keeping it traditional 😉
My hero is my mother–Cynthia Woods. She has been my foundation , my shoulder and my support system. It’s always been her and I . When I thought I would be a disappointment by the life decisions I made, she has always been in my corner to tell me she loves me and will be here no matter what. She pushed me to be the best I can be and set examples of excellenence. She will always and forever be my hero!!! #ShareACoke #ILoveMyMom #HappyHolidays #ThankYouDivaForTheContest #HerosArentAlwaysCelebrities
#shareacoke My unsung hero is my husband. He works to support our family. He goes far and beyond for us ( me and our son) to have. He has bend over backwards for me when we were only friends. My husband confess his feelings towards me before we were even dating. He has truly been my knight in shiny armour! When I felt like I had no one he has been there. He took great care of me after giving birth via c-section. I can go on and on about this man but then post will never get posted lol
I love your recipes and the cakes are holiday hits in my family!!
My grandmother is my holiday hero. I look forward to spending the holidays at her house surrounded by all of my family. Thanksgiving and Christmas are the only times of year we all get to be together. She is a great cook and has the best sense of humor! I will always cherish those moments.
My grandmother! She always makes the holidays something even when we had absolutely nothing. Elaborate dinners out of scraps, gifts when we had nothing. Shes literally my superwoman and my holiday hero. Love you Donna Woods!! ????????????
