4th of July Berrylicious Cupcakes in a Jar

Disclosure: This 4th of July Berrylicious Cupcakes in a Jar dessert recipe post is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group® and All You, but all my opinions are 100%  my own. #lifeforless #pmedia

Here we are in the last week of June already. The summer has just begun and I can't believe the 4th of July is just a few days away.

I have been trying to come up with a great family recipe for our Fourth of July celebration. My niece is here visiting from Georgia. Her mother doesn't do much baking so I was trying to come up with something really special for her. When I picked up a copy of the July issue of All You Magazine at Sweetbay a few days ago and saw the sweet looking recipe for Instant Strawberry Shortcakes on the cover of the July issue I had a great idea.

All You Magazine, Sweetbay Grocery Stores,

All You Magazine is now available at all Sweetbay grocery stores

The cover photo made me think of cupcakes in a jar and since the 4th of July is almost here those Strawberry Shortcakes gave me a great dessert idea and I had all the ingredients except a box of cake mix at home.

All You, Magazine, July Issue,

All You Magazine July Issue

All You magazine is available at many retail locations now

I was so excited to see this great magazine showing up on the magazine racks in many of the stores where I shop. It wasn't too long ago when the only place I could buy an issue of All You Magazine was at Walmart. Now you can pick it up in almost all the grocery stores and the dollars stores.

It is one of my favorite magazines. Each issue is packed full of money saving tips,  coupons and articles that I really find helpful to my family. There is always lots of easy and delicious low-cost recipes in each issue.

Many of the high-value coupons are for products I use already. I have already started implementing some of the tips in the Clean Your House Faster and Cheaper article in this months issue. I especially loved the shortcut for scrubbing the shower and tidying the fridge. Two places I hate to clean the most so any tips to make it go faster are very helpful to me.

I have also been wanting to start Yoga again and this issue is full of easy Yoga poses in the YES YOU CAN DO Yoga! article.

 

4TH OF JULY BERRYLICIOUS CUPCAKES IN A JAR via flouronmyface.com

All You inspired 4th of July Cupcakes in a Jar

For my Fourth of July Berrylicious Cupcakes in a Jar you will need:

  • mason jars
  • a white cake mix  & ingredients to make it
  • cherry pie filling
  • blueberry pie filling
  • cool whip vanilla frosting
  • red food dye
  • blue food dye
  • a 12 inch plastic decorator bag with a large closed star tip (optional)

If you can bake cupcakes you can make this pretty patriotic cupcake dessert and impress your family and guests this 4th of July. It's a little bite of pie and a little bite of frosted cupcake all rolled into one. As you spoon through the layers, each bite comes up with a different flavor combo from the top layer of blueberry pie filling, cool whip frosting and cupcake down to the bottom layer of cherry pie filling, cool whip frosting and cupcake.

 

At first I was going to use a cool whip topping instead of the cool whip vanilla frosting in between the layers of cupcakes and pie filling. I am so glad I didn't and went with my instincts. The cool whip frosting is much thicker and firmer than the airy cool whip topping. It has the best frosting flavor. Try to imagine the flavor combination of cool whip topping combined with a very light, not overly sweet buttercream frosting. It is the best frosting I have ever tasted and it went perfect with the cupcakes and berry pie fillings.

    Yummy! Those look delicious. I wonder if they could be made with a gluten-free cake mix and turn out just as wonderful?

      Amanda I am sure they would. A heads up.... I used americolor gel paste food coloring. This was my first time using it and I am blown away by the bright vibrant color I got for the blue and red cupcakes.
