Rainbow Cupcakes in a Jar for a Baby Shower
Today we are celebrating the birth of a beautiful baby girl! I’m joined by 16 other very talented bloggers to celebrate the birth of Meaghan’s baby! I had the pleasure of meeting Meaghan during the Hershey’s trip last month, so when I was asked to share a special treat for her Baby Shower, I was super excited!
These Rainbow Cupcakes in a Jar are fun to serve for any occasion and sure to bring a smile!
The cupcakes are baked right in the jar. Any size jar will work, I happen to find these at Hobby Lobby, I think they are the perfect size. Depending on the jar size, you will need to adjust the amount of batter added. I usually add about 1 tablespoon of each color of batter.
Now let’s celebrate Baby Violet!
