Taking the time to prepare baked good requires time and precision, but these desserts in a jar save you on time as well as from having to be perfect. In addition to being extremely easy to transport and eat on the go, these desserts in cans and jars also prevent the temptation to overeat, since they're pre-packaged in single serving sizes.
Just as there are tons of different baked goods to whip up in your kitchen, there are recipes for pies, cakes and cupcakes that can be either prepared or presented in a jar or a can. Although it's easy to layer the dry ingredients required for a recipe in a container, presenting a pre-made dessert in a jar really takes things to the next level, since the treats can instantly be enjoyed.
