My gran invited us over for dinner tomorrow night, so instead of buying the usual flowers or chocolates, I made this cute little cake in a jar gift:
It's a jar that we had left over from our wedding favours (I still have a few of these left). I have this 5 minute chocolate cake recipe that I love, so that's what's inside the bottle - I layered the dry ingredients, and she'll just have to add the wet ingredients.
I decorated the bottle with a rose and some leaves (also what I've kept from the wrapping of a wedding gift we received):
I printed the recipe instructions on plain paper, cut it out, coloured the edges with an ink pad, and stuck it onto patterned card stock, which I cut out with fancy scissors:
And tied it to the jar with a ribbon from my scrap ribbon stash:
Cute, huh?! :D
And for those who want this quick and easy single serving microwave chocolate cake recipe, here it is:
4 tbs cake flour
4 tbs sugar
2 tbs cocoa powder
1 egg
3tbs milk
3tbs oil
Mix well and microwave for 3 minutes on high.
YUM!! :)
