Description

This is a kid pleaser! It’s bright, colorful, and delicious!

Ingredients

  • 1 box (18.25 Oz. Box) White Cake Mix
  • Additional Required Ingredients Specified In Mix Package (typically Water, Eggs And Oil)
  • Neon Food Colors
  • 1 container (16 Oz. Size) Prepared White Frosting
  • Your Choice Of Sprinkles

Preparation

You will also need 24 mason-style jars with lids.

Preheat oven and prepare cake mix according to package instructions (you’ll typically need water, eggs, and oil, as directed in mix package). Split batter into 4 separate bowls and add food colors. Layer each color into the jars until the jar is about halfway full. Bake for 15-20 minutes, and cool. Pipe frosting on top when cooled and add sprinkles. These are great for bake sales or kid’s parties!

try a little vegetable shortening in the jars before you fill them.

Cori, I made these for my birthday and used 8-oz jars. They were great but being the first time we didn’t measure the portions right and had some way to full and others not enough. But my question is, the glass was “dingy” looking, definetly not as clear as yours. What did I do wrong?

Yes, that’s the easiest way to do it. I put about 12 jars on each baking sheet

These are beautiful! Do you put the jars on a baking sheet, and, do you bake all 24 at once?

I have also done chocolate cake in a 9 x 13 baking dish and cut it into cubes then layered into the jar parfait style with vanilla cream in the middle and chocolate frosting. Yum!
