Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box Betty Crocker Super Moist Cake Mix White
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup water
- red food coloring
- blue food coloring
- 16 oz Pillsbury Creamy Supreme Frosting Classic White
- red, white and blue sprinkles assorted
Instructions
- Divide the white cake mix batter equally into 2 bowls. Color half blue and half red to your liking. Bake 5 cupcakes of each color according to the package.
- Crumble up the blue cupcakes into a bowl. Crumble up the red cupcakes 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 mason jar and put an inch layer of blue cake crumbles in the bottom.
- Take the frosting and pipe a thick line around the edges of the blue cake crumbles, pressing the frosting against the glass edge as you go 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.
- Add another layer of blue crumbles, then a frosting line, and another layer of red crumbles.
- Pipe a full layer of frosting over the top of the cake to completely cover it, reaching right about to the top rim of the jar.
- Sprinkle the patriotic sprinkles over the top and repeat steps for the remaining jars.
Notes
- Make sure cupcakes are completely cooled before crumbling.
- Use a clear glass jar for beautiful presentation.
- Feel free to customize the sprinkles to fit your theme.
