When we celebrated my granddaughter's birthday at an amusement center, I wanted to be able to carry around his cake without being afraid of dropping it. So here is the recipe for son's cake!

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 tablespoons vanilla essence
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 2 eggs
• 3/4 cup uns alted butter
• 1 1/4 cup of milk
• 2 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 tsp s alt

Preparation

1. Combine sugar, butter and vanilla and beat until well blended. Continue adding the eggs, mixing well, then add the baking powder, flour, s alt and milk. Your cake mix is ready.
2. The cool part begins… Divide the mixture into 6 bowls, tinting each bowl a rainbow color. Put your mixtures in different Ziploc type bags and make a small hole at the end (if you have piping bags, it's even better).
3. You must now put the color in your Masson jars without greasing the turn (the recipe is made accordingly otherwise your cake will have shades of brown.). Little trick: Put one color at a time. For example, put green in all the jars, then pink, and so on. Once the pocket is pierced, the mixture tends to want to come out of the bag and you will lose control.
4. It's baking time. Use a plate with edges that can hold water (home fries plate). The goal is to fill it halfway with water to create a bain-marie effect. This step is important to avoid exploding the glass of your Masson jars.
5. Bake for about thirty minutes at 350 F. When your cakes are baked, it is important to let them cool before removing the jars so as not to give the glass jar a temperature shock.

Before serving, I fill the remaining space with whipped cream which makes the cake lighter. With a few little edible sparkles on top, it's the finishing touch that gives your cakes even more pizzazz!

You can save one for a Monday morning lunch special; your child will be proud to bring their birthday cake to school!
