on August 6, 2010 at 8:58 AM

Having a party? You could serve regular ol' cupcakes, but you're way more fun than that ...

Instead, serve these adorable cupcakes in a jar from My Cakies -- guaranteed to make your guests remember your shindig long after it's over. It's luscious layers of cake and frosting that you eat with a spoon.

They also would make for cute shower favors, don't you think? Guests can eat their treat later and then use the mason jar as a vase, votive, or pretty decoration. Love it!

To make, simply bake your favorite flavor of cupcake, cut in half, then layer with your frosting of choice. The ones above are red velvet cupcakes layered with cream cheese frosting ... mmmmm ...

But really? The possibilities are endless. If only there was a compilation of best cupcake-frosting combinations of all time. Oh wait, there is!

Which cupcake-frosting combination would you put in a jar?
