You'll need:
Cake Mix (Boxed works great)
Frosting
Half-Pint Mason Jars
Follow the directions to prepare the cupcakes. Line the muffin pan with cupcake liners, and bake as package suggests. I used a mini-muffin pan for mine, but you can use whatever you have available.
Once out of the oven, let cupcakes cool completely - about 1 hour.
Cut cupcakes in half vertically. Place each half in sterilized jar, piping (or spooning) the frosting in between the halves. Frost top of cupcake. Seal jar with lid and band.
{ I used mini cupcakes. I put three in each jar, piping in between }
You can decorate the jar however you like. I used colored ribbons and made little tags that say "Enjoy!"
Freeze jars overnight, then pack jars securely in a box and mail. The cupcakes will defrost in the mail, and you'll loved one will receive a little yummy gift ready to enjoy!

What an absolutely fabulous idea! Now with me living in the Caribbean and all, I think the cakes will not only defrost but might be inedible by the time it gets to my faraway friends:) but I'm filing this away in my mental box of gift ideas for if we ever move back to the States or Virgin Islands.
Thanks for sharing. I'm glad I cam over via SITS to find this wonderful idea.
That is the cutest and tastiest idea!!! I can't wait to try it!
Just stopped by from SITS to say hi; hope you'll do the same.
i've always loved mason jars and cupcakes. it's the perfect marriage of cuteness :)
That is a really good idea.
