Cupcakes in a Jar

Last week I got a super fun shipment in the mail. Cupcakes in a jar for Wicked Good Cupcakes! I’m sure you have seen them all over pinterest but they are something that I would never make. Too many steps. I’m super lazy. But not too lazy to eat. They had been mis-delivered (totally a word) to a neighbor. She brought them over and commented on how she was sure I would want the package because it had cupcakes (thanks to the company’s sticker on the package). And then she sort of hung around. I might be wrong but I think she was waiting for me to offer her one. I didn’t. Cupcakes make people act crazy sometimes. I took off the box lid and found the cupcake jars wrapped up snug, just waiting to be eaten. The box even contained 4 faux-silver plastic spoons. It was a thoughtful touch.

Wicked Good Cupcakes is based in MA but will ship anywhere in the US. They sell 2 different sizes of cupcakes in a jar and have a variety of flavors to choose from including Hummingbird! Yum! They also have options for customizing labels for special events and offer bulk discounts.

This is their Spring Fling cupcake that is white cake with a vanilla cream cheese buttercream! I found it just perfect for breakfast, er, I mean an afternoon snack.

I also got a birthday cake flavor which was white cupcake with a Madagascar Bourbon cream cheese buttercream. Yeah. Also delicious. But what I like about these cupcakes in a jar, more than anything, is that they allow you to send a little celebration to your friends and family around the country. My nieces live in Nevada and I don’t often get to spend their birthdays with them. How excited would they be to open up a package of cupcakes?! And my husband’s cousin and cousin’s wife just bought a new house in Connecticut. What a great housewarming present!
