koko,

I can't tell if the gold looking top on two of those mugs is a continuation
of the interior color, or if it's gold trim. If it's gold trim watch it the
first time you use it, it may arc in the mw oven.

If it does you could just put an open ziploc type plastic bag over the mug.
That would allow the mircrowaves to still reach the contents, or if you're
feeling "crafty" coat the gold trim with a clear coating - maybe fingernail
polish? Either way will work fine.

I'd count on doing something if it's gold trim. Even if it doesn't arc now,
if its protective coating gets scratched or abraded off from washing (or
digging mightily with a spoon to get the last of that cake! ) it will
begin to arc later.

Boli, I noticed the same thing about the possible gold trim on two of
the mugs, but I wasn't sure. So, the trick with using an inverted
ziploc-type plastic bag over the top prevents metallics on mugs from
arcing??? I've never heard of that trick, and it might be very handy
when I make mochas in decorated mugs that have gold trim/lettering/etc.
Thanks

Sky, who never knew!

Thanks Boli. I was planning on using the middle one for the cake, no
gold trim. The Ralph Lauren Wedgewood Polo Bear on the right will be
my new a.m. coffee mug. The Eskimo one will be perfect for hot
chocolate. I can see it with a big marshmallow sitting on top.
