Blogmas Day 22: The Perfect Gift—Cupcake in a Jar


I’m back with another Blogmas post for you—and it’s a recipe. Yes, if you know me at all, you’re probably thinking, “Why would she bake something? She can’t bake AT ALL.” And I would agree with this. But, I saw this lovely Christmas gift idea on mycakies.com, and I figured I would have to try it out myself and let you know how it turned out. Sometimes those professional bakers make things that are literally impossible. BUT IT WORKED. Well, mostly. It got a little messy, but I think it would make an adorable gift. So I made a little video to show you my process.




A WARNING: This is not totally gorgeous—I am not a professional. At all. Like at all. But, I’m hoping that you at least get some inspiration. Let me know if it helped you with your gift giving, and I can’t wait to speak with you all again soon.

Supplies you'll need:

  • Red Velvet cake mix (I mean you could make it homemade if you're feeling ambitious)
  • Whipped cream cheese frosting
  • A mason jar
  • Ribbon
  • A cupcake tin
  • Pam (or whatever else you use to keep the cake mix from sticking)
  • A mixing jar
  • A spatula




Much love,

  2. These jarred baked goods are such a good idea, especially for a girl on a budget! It's thoughtful and creative without breaking the bank!
