Cupcake in a jar.......

Ok so the new craze is here! Cupcakes in a jar, a great little treat for yourself or a gift for someone else to make their day!

These keep fresh for 5 days at room temp or last 4 weeks in the fridge (must bring to room temp before eating) can also be frozen to keep for longer (again needs to be room temp before eating)

We do a couple of sizes at the moment the large is £6 plus £2.50 postage, the small is £3, pluse £1.50 postage.

To colour white chocolate use powdered / paste food colouring.

Liquid colouring will cause the chocolate to thicken and become unstable.
