Ingredients for 4^th of July Cake in a Jar Recipe

• 5 Red Cupcakes, unfrosted
• 5 Blue Cupcakes, unfrosted
• 4 Glass Jars, approximately ½ pint size
• 1 Container White Frosting
• Red, White, and Blue Sprinkles, assorted

Directions for 4^th of July Cake in a Jar Recipe

First, crumble up the blue cupcakes into a bowl. Crumble up the red cupcakes and put those in a separate bowl.

Put some of the white frosting into a small piping bag or a small plastic baggie with the corner cut off.

Take a jar and put a layer of blue cake crumbles in the bottom. My layer was about an inch thick.

Take the frosting and pipe a thick line around the edges of the blue cake crumbles.

Make sure you are pressing the frosting against the glass edge as you are going around.

Add a layer of the red cake crumbles next, about an inch thick.

Pipe another thick line of frosting around the edges of the red cake, again making sure you are touching the glass.

Add another layer of blue crumbles, then a frosting line, and another layer of red crumbles.

Now pipe a full layer of frosting over the top of the cake so it’s completely covered. You should be right about at the top rim of the jar.

Sprinkle the patriotic sprinkles over the top.

Repeat steps 3-9 for the remaining jars.

These fun and pretty little dessert jars are great for your celebration!

*Note: I prepared a white cake mix and divided the batter equally and colored half blue and half red. Bake cupcakes according to the package.
