Rainbow Cakes in Jars

 RAINBOW CAKE! These jarred lumps of happiness were a lot of fun to make, and nearly mess-less. 

We used:

1. Cake Mix

2. Food Coloring

3. Zip Plastic Bags

4. Clean, dry jars

5. New jar tops (w/rubber seals)

6. Cooking Spray

1. Cake mix. Mix it up, partition it into however plastic bags you have food coloring for. I used four bags. Insert food coloring into bag. Mix by squishing (don't pop it!).

 2. Cut a hole in the bottom of the bag full of cake batter and squeeze the batter into the oiled jar in layers. Don't go above half full.

3. Bake at the appropriate temperature until done (toothpick test worked fine).

 4. When the cake is done, pull the jars out of the oven and give them a minute to breathe. You should then cap them and gently screw the tops on the jars. You'll hear popping after a minute or two, which means that the cake is sealed in the jar.

Enjoy the cake FOREVER.


Ok, not forever, but it'll keep for a while.
