I wanted to make something small and cute for my Church preschool committee gals so this is what I came up with - taken from this great blog!
Although I did make homemade cream cheese icing ...
...I did cheat and use store-bought red velvet cake mix. Sorry ladies. I tasted a cupcake though and it was really yummy. MMMMMmmmmmmm......
I put one whole cupcake in the bottom of the 1/2 pint wide-mouth jar, then a layer of homemade cream cheese icing. After that, another cupcake (yes, I realize this is more than one cupcake but hey - who's counting!!) then topped with a fancy swirl of icing with sprinkles.
For the lid, I punched a circle from red card-stock using my 3" circle punch. Then used my Cricut Expression to cut the letters for the lid (1/4", Cricut Classic Font), and a few brads to jazz up the word.
I Modge Podge'd the circle to the lid - tied on the plastic spoons with Christmas ribbon...
...and Voila! A cute single-serve Cupcake in a Jar! Hope they like it!!
I know I liked it! Hee hee.
