cupcakes in a jar

 

after the success of the jar cookies as gifts over the holiday

I wanted to try packaging other desserts in mason jars

and so I give you lemon poppy seed cupcakes with vanilla frosting - in a jar

baked the cupcakes in silicone liners for easy removal

had to cut off some outer edge of the cupcakes to make them fit into these smaller jars

piped out a thick layer of frosting, then added the second cupcake

piped out some more frosting on the top and added sprinkles

tied a plastic spoon to the jar with ribbon for immediate cupcake consumption
gave some of these as a get well gift
I like the idea that the jar can be used for other things
after the contents have been eaten
