cake in a jar

Ever heard of cake in a jar?
You bake a cake, then smoosh it into a jar.


not really.

tricked you!

It's rather complicated actually.
Bake according to instructions on the box, except
bake at 400 instead of 350..375..whatev.
How did I ever find time to do this?
Wife of the year I tell ya!
Let's pretend this birthday care package wasn't 
one month late.

[I really creeped myself out with that last picture but I digress....does that even make sense? I always thought I digress was a collegiate phrase and I'm pretty sure it works there....I digress]

It's really normal to have a photo shoot with cake
just so we're clear.


Festive, right?

I'll leave you with pictures from the party.




I assure you mr wears clothes from time to time
but in his defense..he does work out.

    Oh my gosh, I'm doing this for my hubby for his bday too!! I just mailed him a box full of nothing but stuff you put in kiddie goodie boxes! that cheapo candy, the cheapo crap toys, and then topped it with confetti! haha. I love it! he probably wont so much when he opens it and sees confetti go everywhere!!
    i'm making the cake in a jar today or tomorrow!!

    I love the cake in a jar concept. I never realized how it could feed a man serving our country because it is safely sealed in a jar!! How clever. I am sure the preservatives in the cake batter kept it fresh enough for your man :). I'm glad I found your blog through Michaelas! Your so sweet and funny. LOVE IT!

    bahahaha! so cute! =) and such a sweet gift to send your hubs! I'll have to keep this in the back of my mind for when mine deploys this fall! eep! I predict everything will be in jar form so it doesn't get mushed! <3

    Thank you sooo much for this idea!!
    I did some further research on google and found this recipe
    http://blogs.babble.com/family-kitchen/2011/04/07/peanut-butter-cups-cake-in-a-jar/
    Perfect for my marine, because he loves peanut butter cups!
    So I did a test run and made a few and he loves them!
    He deploys in 10 days, so I'll get started making more to send to he and his squad while they're in the sand box.
