Mason Jar Cupcakes
>> November 13, 2009
I have so many friends and family that live out of town it's nice to have mail-able gifts. This is my favorite to send to loved ones, everyone loves baked goodies!
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!
