Baking Rainbow Cake in a Jar

Together we will make colorful rainbow cakes in a jar from an easy box mix or homemade cake mix. Students can decide whether to make a full rainbow, their school or favorite team colors, holiday colors, or any other combination! If desired, they can go full rainbow unicorn by adorning the top with a cone shaped candy, like a candy corn.
I will walk through each step and provide tips and details along the way. 
I recommend using 8 ounce mason jars. If you don’t have the recommended size, you can use any size mason jars for your cakes - or you can even use a regular glass cake pan if you wish. 

During class, I will prep through all steps with learners, until putting them in the oven. Class will end before baking times are done for all bakers. 

Before we end the meeting, we will share the different toppings that each student has prepared for their cakes! Be creative and as artistic as you want to be!

Learners should have the ability to crack eggs and use a hand mixer (or have an older helper nearby to assist as needed). Students will also be using the oven, so parents should be sure that the student knows how to safely operate the oven and handle the hot contents after baking is complete or have parents available to help.
