8 Heavenly Cakes and Desserts in Jars That Won't Let You Down

If you’ve been searching for a foodie gift that is not only quick and easy to make, but also fun, fresh and, of course, delicious, then search no more! I’ve found just the thing: cake in a jar! You mix your regular cake ingredients in the jar along with some tasty fruit/berries (this is a good opportunity for you to use those fruit that may be nearing the over-ripe stage), pop it in the oven for about an hour, and pull out a perfectly baked cobbler-style cake in a jar! Apart from being a novel gift, this is also a great idea for picnic outings; just don’t forget to bring along the whipped cream.
