Red Velvet Jar Cake image

I love to make these red velvet jar cakes for friends, family and teachers. Red velvet is my favorite during the holidays, but you can use your favorite cake and frosting flavors. Then dress up the jars with homemade labels and ribbons for gifting. Don't forget to tie a spoon to the jar; everyone likes to dig right in! -Lillie Collier, Mobile, Alabama

I would not recommend this recipe. The cake was too dense and the frosting was too sweet.
