Cake Mix in a Jar Recipe
... with Printable Gift Tag
by Jane Lake
This is a nice gift in a jar to give at any time, but makes a special going away treat for college students or a welcome gift for a new neighbour.
Cake Mix in a Jar
Ingredients:
6 c. flour
3 Tbsp. baking powder
1-1/2 c. Crisco
4 c. sugar
2 tsp. salt
In large bowl combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. With pastry blender, cut in the shortening until mixture resembles cornmeal. Pack in airtight jars, using at least two cups of mix per jar. Store in a cool, dry place. If possible, use within one month but if kept cool and dry it will keep slightly longer.
Printable Gift Tag
Print and cut out the gift tag. Fold in half, and in half again, to place the illustration on the front and the instructions on the inside of your gift tag. Punch a hole in the top left corner and attach to the jar with a piece of yarn or ribbon.

This is great! I like to give homemade gifts and also to paint my jars. The combination is a winner.
Hi Love your recpies but as I live in S A have difficulty with some ingredients,like Crisco for instance,can you help. Thanks
Gladys,
Crisco is the name of a well-known brand of vegetable shortening in North America. It is in solid form, similar to lard, and you can often substitute lard for vegetable shortening in many recipes.
Was thrilled when I found this sight. The recipes are fabulous.
how much would you charge to sell a jar mix cookies, cake or soup?
I love your mixes in jars
