I recommend using 8 ounce mason jars, because they are great for individual serving sizes - but this can be flexible. 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. Using an oven-safe glass bowl or pan will create more of a tie-dye or swirly effect.

My suggestion is to use 8 of the 8 oz jars, or 4 of the 16 oz jars. You can also mix and match or use other oven safe glass.

List of Supplies:

• A box cake mix (or equivalent homemade cake mix) - white cake will take color best.

• All ingredients listed on the back of the box. (ex. eggs, oil, water)

• A large mixing bowl

• A hand mixer/egg beater (or you can mix by hand with a spoon)

• Several small to medium bowls (one for each color!) - I suggest 4-6 bowls and colors for best result, but you can choose whatever you like!

• Food dye

• Spoons to mix the dyed batter

• 1/4 cup measuring cup/spoon

• Cooking spray IF you plan to remove the cake from the jar or dish before serving. Not needed if serving in jars.

• Mason jars, glass baking dish, or other glass oven-safe cookware to bake cakes in

• *If you are baking in jars, you will also need a glass cake pan ready that all the jars can stand inside with water

• # of mason jars advisement:

  My suggestion is to use 8 of the 8 oz jars, 4 of the 16 oz jars, or you can even use the short 4 oz jars for a more bite-sized treat! You can also mix and match or use other oven safe glass.

• An oven and oven mitts

• Optional:

  Cake frosting, sprinkles, candy corn (if you want a unicorn horn!), or any other cake toppings - have fun with it! Prepare your own toppings using your favorite recipe, or buy premade.
