Jar It

I recently made cupcakes for my mother-in-law's 80th birthday party - Cinnamon Mocha and Cherry Crisp. I had left over frosting and leftover chocolate cake in the freezer; and you know how I love to use up all my leftovers in scrumptious ways.

I took a few jars down form my windowsill (I am also an avid jar collector - a jar can't hardly get passed me) and made cupcake parfaits using my leftover ingredients.

On the left is chocolate cake with cinnamon coffee buttercream and cinnamon brown sugar oat crumble. On the right is chocolate cake with cherry buttercream and cherry preserves. Yummy, yummy (my favorite word).

They were so nice to eat with a spoon - way less mess. About two cupcakes fit in these particular jars so I didn't have to go back into the kitchen to get another cupcake. Maybe I'll do the jar thing more often. What a beautiful and scrumptious mess.
