I love how mason jars are so popular right now! I teamed up with a cute bunch of girls and we each shared a creative a idea with things to do with mason jars. I chose to make rainbow cake in a jar! They turned out so cute and were a huge hit with the neighbor kids! I hope you enjoy them!
Rainbow Cake In a Jar Recipe
I chose to make rainbow cake in a jar! They turned out so cute and were a huge hit with the neighbor kids! I hope you enjoy them!
Serving
Ingredients
- 1 box white cake mix, (made according to package instructions)
- food coloring
- 4 one pint canning jars
- 1 can vanilla frosting
- colored sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Make sure you wash and dry the inside of each canning jar. Spray the inside of each jar with nonstick cooking spray then set aside.
- Scoop 1/2 cups of cake batter into five small bowls. It doesn't have to be perfect, don't panic if you get a little more of less of one color than another. Tint each bowl of cake batter with the food coloring until very bright. (I used a lot of food coloring!) The colors I did were red, blue, purple, yellow and green. But you can use any colors you want!

I love these jar cakes. Terrific for outside.
I LOVE the rainbow cake in a jar idea!! I’m pretty sure my kids will, too..cute pic with the spilled sprinkles;)
These look so cute and colorful! It’s like capturing and eating a delicious rainbow (:
Thanks Kristen! 🙂 It took me about 20 pictures to get it right! Ha Ha!
Such a fun idea and I really things taste better when eaten out of a fun container like a mason jar!
How full do you fill each jar? I’m having my daughter & her friends make their own — hoping to get the cake to reach the top of the jar to put frosting on the top.
Looks so tempting!
Hello, thank you for sharing your tutorial. I love the idea. I found a box full of mason jars last weekend at a yard sale and I was looking for some ideas to use them for crafts. And I stumbled upon your blog. I have included a link to your page from mine. I do hope that is ok. If not please let me know I will have it removed. Thank you again for the great post! http://dailydiylife.blogspot.com/2014/07/coolest-mason-jar-crafts.html
Kind regards,

I’ve heard that jars are safe and not safe for baking. I’m sure Six Sisters has researched it. Can you please shed some light on this because I think they would be fun to make.
