I’ve made cakes in a jar for years as gifts during the holidays. I love the ability to store the cakes in sealed jars. but this looks like an awesome party/picnic idea 🙂
Be careful when baking in Mason jars as they are not designed for this and can shatter. (I’ve personally never had this problem).

Help! I tried the strawberry lemon aid cupcakes and not sure if they need to be refrigerated or not. Plus the frosting is a bit runny. I added more powdered sugar, but I am loosing the strawberry taste. Any suggestions?
