Great recipe! I made it for my co-workers and they loved it! Thanks so much

How amazing was this!! I didn't know what to do for this deployment and I found this before he left. His birthday is today and I can't wait for him to get it. It taste a little different baked in a jar, but not to much. Thanks so much for such a great idea.

This is a great cooking activity for the family. My four year old was able to spoon the batter into the jars and help choose and tie the fabric to the jars with pretty ribbon. The kids were very proud of the end result.

This was so simple and easy to do, and my husband loved it. He's in Iraq and I sent it for his birthday. He said it was awesome :)

My hubby said this cake was great! I would like to mention though that this only made 5 cups of batter - so only 5 jars of cake. I used a regular cake mix.

LOVED THIS IDEA! I just made these for my husbands birthday, which he is spending in Iraq. I followed the recipe word for word and they turned out PERFECT!! I sent him a jar of his favorite frosting too :) I'm SO glad I was able to make him a birthday cake and make this day special for him, even from across the world! THANK YOU!! :)

My best friends fiance is in Iraq and I made him cake because I was bored. My ex boyfriend along with about 8 of my other friends are also in Iraq and this is an awesome idea. They love it and it turns out awesome.

this exploded on me!!!!!!!!

My sister and I made this with Cinnamon Swirl Cake mix to send to my husband who is in the military overseas (for his Birthday) We sent him 2 jars and tried one ourselves. It really does seal! One thing is you have to use no more than a CUP of cake batter or you will be cutting the top of your cake off before you put the lid on. Now if only I had a food saver bag to put some icing in there for him!

This is a great idea and I really wanted it to work, as I was giving them as Christmas gifts to the girls at the office. One cup of cake batter per jar is not enough, I could never find the right amount to get them to fill the jar but not go over. Also when the jars sealed and began to cool down the condensation built up and you could see the cake getting soggy in the jar, yuck! Not a pretty presentation, I was running around at the last minute trying to find something to give instead of these.

I didn't get 8 either. But I used the WIDE-MOUTHED jars, so I figured that was to blame. They're still in the oven, almost ready. and will be traveling to the middle-east in a care package, along with a tub of icing for my husband whos birthday is soon. Thanks for the help, he'll get a big kick out of this.

I loved this idea. I made it as a father's day gift and had a few cakes left for entertaining as well. I didn't get 8 jars but only 4 1/2. Still a great idea.

This is a GREAT ideal for anything. I have a son in Iraq and it was his Birthday. I made him this cake in a jar and sent it to him and some of the other soldiers to help him have a cake for his Birthday. It turned out great for him. He loved it so much. Thanks for the help to help the soldiers to have some home cooking from home.

this recipe looks so yummy . . . when i made it everyone loved. this is the best recipe ever ;}

this was a lot of fun. I used a Golden Vanilla cake mix, which needs no frosting. Friends and family thought this was great.

Grandchildren & I made these for there teachers. What a wonderful idea.

This was such a great idea!! I made several different flavors during the holidays and made gift bags for the people I work with. They were huge hit! I used the small jars so I could give everyone a sample of each flavor. This year I am going to have to stock up on the jars because they were very hard to find that time of year.

What a cute idea .... however the manufacturer of the glass mason jars DOES NOT recommend them for baking (they can break) and contamination is a BIG concern. I made them anyway using the Chocolate Pudding Fudge Cake recipe and they looked great until they cooled ... shriveled in the jars and looked quite unappealing. The leftover batter I cooked in a pan and it tastes OK, but after all the work you still have to store the cakes in the freezer or eat them right away. On a good note ...I just found the Allrecipe web site this weekend and it is GREAT! Been glued to my computer since! How about a recipe Chat Line? or a recipe request site. Thanks
