It's Friday y'all! While trying to figure out what to do tonight, I came across a pin and thought...hm...this is exactly the amount of sweets I need and patience I have for tonight! I've done these before, and they've always turned out well. And, since I know they work, I have the added bonus of not worrying whether the glass jars will explode in my over or not!
You dont need much for this project. Just a few ingredients.
- Cake mix - the kind with vanilla pudding, because its the tastiest
- 10 jars of baby applesauce (applesauce so you can secretly feed it to your family instead of tossing it out...they will NEVER notice. Trust me on that)
- Food coloring. Even if you think you have enough, get some more. It takes a lot of color for bold vibrant colors, and mama *thinking* there was enough *may* be why purple is so...um...pink.
Then head home, and grab 6 bowls. Mix your batter, and divide it evenly into each bowl, then start with the color. Use as much as you need, and make whatever colors you want. And remember you need A LOT of color to make it bold!
Next, spoon them into the baby food jars – the first time we did this we tried different heights, and different designs. We mostly did whatever we wanted, since who really cares what color a cupcake is? You are still going to want to eat it!
We DID learn that it is important to fill them about half full…
Otherwise, they spilled over. A lot. Sort of a fail there, but what can ya do!?!
We just chopped off the top, and put some frosting and sprinkles on – delicious! We also put whip on some. My daughter did not have a preference – she loved them both equally - but really what kid wouldn't like both cake and whip and cake and frosting. 
And with the extra parts we chopped off? We made the elusive ever searched for delicacy of Unicorn poo
Enjoy!!
