So I am not sure, what has been up with me lately.  I have been craving sweets for about a week now, even though I am not really a sweets kind of person.  So this week I through the healthy stuff out the window and had to share this recipe.  I am not sure if I’m more impressed by the recipe, than I am with how cute it looks…check it out.

Ingredients

1 bx white cake mix
food coloring (pink, yellow, green, turquoise and purple) see directions on coloring pkg to make all these different colors
3 pint size canning jars
1 can(s) vanilla frosting or your favorite butter cream frosting
rainbow sprinkles
 Directions

Preheat oven to 350F. Thoroughly wash and dry the inside of canning jars. Spray the inside of each jar thoroughly with non stick cooking spray. Set aside.
