Here’s how to create your own:
Ingredients:
- Cake of your choice (or leftover cake trimmings)

- Toppings galore! (Sprinkles, chopped nuts, fresh fruit, chocolate chips, etc.)
- Cookie cutter (optional, for a clean-cut look)

Jar Options:
- For this recipe, I’ve used plastic jars typically used for slime. These are great because they’re lightweight and come in various sizes. But don’t worry, you can also use classic mason jars or any clear jar you have on hand!
Where You Get Your Jars:
- I found these particular plastic jars at Amazon. Grab them here.
- Mason jars are a classic choice, but you can also use any clear jar you like.
Instructions:
- Bake or Break: Unleash your inner baker and whip up a cake of your favorite flavor. Alternatively, gather those leftover cake trimmings and crumble them into bite-sized pieces.
- Shape Up (Optional): Want a clean, layered look? Use a cookie cutter that matches the size of your jar opening to cut out perfect cake circles from your freshly baked cake.
- Jar It Up: Layer the cake circles (or crumbled cake) in your jar.
- Frosting Fun: Pipe or spoon in your favorite buttercream frosting between the cake layers. Don’t be shy, be generous!
- Top it Off: Here comes the fun part! Unleash your creativity and pile on your favorite toppings. Sprinkles, chopped nuts, fresh fruit, chocolate chips, caramel drizzle – anything your heart desires!
