Our first Mason Jar project was a delicious cookie mix that loved ones can make on their own. In this next idea, we filled one of our Mini Mason Jars with scrumptious cupcakes that can be enjoyed right away!
Here’s what we did:
- Took some ready-made cupcakes
- Cut the cupcakes into small pieces so that they could be easily layered in the mini jar
- Picked out our favorite colored frostings
- Placed alternating layers of cupcakes and frosting in the jar til we got to the top (in this case it was 2 layers of cake and 2 layers of frosting).
If you’re making a large amount of these, a simpler way to make the cake layers is to bake one large cake and cut that into pieces instead of using individual cupcakes.
As an added touch, finish each jar off with some Baker’s Twine and a Wooden Chevron Spoon for a ready-to-eat dessert that you can give out as a gift, party favor, or after-dinner treat!
24 more days to go!
