Fabulous Favors: Cake in a Mason Jar

Let's admit it - one of guests' favorite things at a wedding reception has got to be the CAKE! You probably have heard that fun myth from years ago, when guests were given a piece of cake to take home and single ladies would put the cake under their pillows, hoping to dream of their future husbands. That’s a sweet story and all, but the best part about it is getting to take cake home. We don't know about you, but the idea of cake to-go is just dreamy to us! And what could make cake more portable than a mason jar?! That’s right. Cake. In a jar!

We just LOVE the humble mason jar being elevated to a vessel worthy of delectable cake treats like these!

Cake in a jar makes for a great favor and a fun DIY project.

You can find recipes and tutorials all over the 'net. If you don’t have the time or inclination, there are a few professional outfits that are doing these and doing them well!

And if putting together a couple hundred jars of cake for your wedding guests seems overwhelming, you could always make them to go in your welcome bags for out-of town guests or at least ask to have them at a bridal shower. Because seriously, what could be cuter than cake… IN A JAR?!

Sweet dreams!
