Cake In A Jar
A Cake in a Jar is such a personal dessert and can be adjusted to fit any flavors that you can imagine. Cakes can be strawberry, vanilla, chocolate, pina colada, peach, or any other flavor. I’ve always loved the presentation of a cake in a jar. It’s just something about it that feels very personal and special as if it was crafted just for you. The layered cake in a jar is very easy to make.
Directions:
- Use a round biscuit cutter to cut angel food cake circles
- layer in a mason jar, cake circle, strawberries, cream cheese mixture, and blueberries
- Continue layers until the top of the jar is reached
- Adorn with a lovely red, white, and blue ribbon
- Keep refrigerated
Strawberry / Blueberry Trifle
Growing up, my family referred to a Trifle as a Refrigerator Cake. This type of cake makes a beautiful presentation. It is made in a beautiful glass dish, so use one of your prettiest deep set bowls. My favorite dish to make this in – is a cake dish that can be flipped upside down.
Directions:
- Tear angel food cake into bite-sized pieces
- Cream together powdered sugar, cream cheese, cool whip, and sour cream.
- Gently fold the cake pieces with the cream cheese mixture.
- Layer in a glass bowl, strawberries, cream cheese mixture, and blueberries.
- Repeat the pattern until the bowl is filled.
- Refrigerate and enjoy!
