Hey 😃 What a fun idea for cakes . I just brought some cakes mixes Which I can use up first . And I’m going to try your cakes mix recipe.. What a super easy mix and love to have them ready for cup cakes or cakes .. this is a great way to put up mixes .... If I vacuum seal them can they last a while for future use .. Thanks you sooooo much .. 😃 can’t wait for cornbread and other fun mixes .. To have in my pantry .. take care 🥰 Blessing 👩‍🌾

I made this cake and it is delicious. I added about 1/4 cup of oil to it along with the stick of butter, and used 4 eggs. The last one I made I added a box of lemon pudding and zest of half of a large lemon. Topped it with a lemon glaze. This is my Easter cake. Don't hesitate to use this cake mix it turns out really good.

So many people forgot how to cook and these are nostalgic gifts in the way that they remind people of what they should be doing

I have a cheat sheet in my kitchen cabinet that gives me the instructions of items on my shelf. For example, I have a "hamburger helper" mix and other similar mixes that need instructions. It's easy to open the kitchen cabinet and there are my instructions. No need to go to the basement and reapply the instructions. Hope this tip helps. Love your videos.

I use a small binder for my instructions! It sits in my kitchen, so when I need it, I just pull it out! I guess great minds think alike! Shalom and Blessings from Missouri.

This year I have really realized how important it is to be able to make things from scratch. Your channel has been a great resource for this. Thank you!

It’s in the oven! Can’t wait to enjoy it with strawberries & whipping cream!

We don't celebrate Dec 25th. We do, however, celebrate Thanksgiving, so this will be perfect. Thank you! Shalom and Blessings from Missouri.

Anything in a Mason jar makes a charming gift! 🎅😃🎅

Pre-made cake mix. Thanks so much for sharing Rachel and keep them coming. Muffins, brownies cookies. Whatever you got. Love it.

Glad you like them!

Had to come back and find this because my toddler wants to make peach upside down cake but I don’t have any yellow cake mix! So thankful you posted this last year!

I have a air fryer and ordered items to make a different types of foods and a cake basket. my niece's son loves doing cooking activities with me, I'm a retired day care worker and i fo monthly activities with him each month. your video doesn't have a whole lot of yep, yap. you go straight to the recipe. 😊

Finally someone did this right. and you added the ingredients. on your video. Thank you. ❤😊

I finally had an opportunity to bake this mason jar cake mix today. Fabulous! Thank you. Next, will be your spice. I will never buy a box ever.

Well Rachel I am back another year later- you have to re-do this video to refresh everyone. I, today have used my last jarred one & of course about to make another lot. I add sultanas to mine (and make sure I roll them in flour so they don't sink to bottom of cake). My husband is not a big sweet eater but when I make your cake recipe I think he hides it for himself. LOVE IT Cheers Denise- Australia

Thank you so much for sharing. I have been canning for years. I tell my friends and family if they want a refill they have to bring the jars back. Haha.

I made this cake just to make sure it turned out okay! It is amazing!!! Thank you Rachel! I can’t wait to give it to serve it to friends and family!

add a little ribbon and a recipe card and you got the gift!!! love the idea

Three traditional British Christmas cakes made (heavy fruit cake) 1 for us 2 for gifts for elderly neighbours. Now all I have to do is remember to feed each of them every week with a tablespoon of brandy for that extra special flavour. The icing gets put on just before the Christmas holidays.

Rachel, I enjoy any video I've ever seen you make. I haven't done this in a few years, but one year I did cookie mixes and my family loved it. My life has changed considerably since then, and it would be nice to have these available on my shelf. Thank you so much for the tutorial. Blessings, sweet lady! 🙂

Yum. Thanks so much! I love the idea. God bless. 👏🏻💕👏🏻

Hi Rachel what a great idea can you please also share the chocolate cake and brownie mixture too 😊 😀 please pretty please my life just got easier seeing this 🙏 ❤ thanks a bunch

Nice ideas! I made a hot cocoa mix and thought it was good but looking for that GREAT recipe! Can’t wait to hear yours

Really enjoying these videos on building up my pantry. Yes like going to Amish bulk store, my husband and I save up and then go shopping. We have a mini van so we take a big cooler and have a ball. Last time spent 800.00 dollars buying sugar , oatmeal , cases of sweet potatoes, apples all kind of spices and etc. the poor car was sitting low. We live in South Jersey so we go to Lancaster, Pa couple hours away. (It is a beautiful organic store.) We garden and can but this year didn't get any sweet potatoes in, almost done canning from our garden just doing jams and jellies. Trying to get up my nerve to can meats. Well take care and keep on teaching us. 😄

Love going to the Amish store in Bethel PA. Last time I was there I found canning jars. We always buy our potato seeds from them.

Yes I agree I can hardly wait for the spice mix ,thank you Rachael ,you and Tod always have wonderful information !!

Yes! Love these ideas for gifts. Can’t wait to hear the other recipes.

Oh my gosh I have been praying for God to show me something for my class at our faith builders co-op. I had my son make one today and I put one in a jar. Oh my gosh so yummy. I am so going to make lots more after I get more baking powder lol. God bless keep up the great inspection

Ha ha I ran out of baking powder too.😅

This just made me think of a jalapeno cheddar cream cornbread mix in a jar. Omg and I think it would be good for weight lost to have it on hand for those moments where you know you want something just because it's not there or ready. If sweets are ready in jars it seems easier to say I'm good until another time lol. No rush since its already peacefully prepped and put away lol. John 15:5 King James Version 5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. Amen

Omgeee I NEED the spice mix recipe today ... hubby has been wanting a good one and I’ve been procrastinating because I didn’t want to buy a mix! Lol

I look forward to the hot chocolate mix! I’ve been looking for a good one that my kids actually like

Yup, making muffin mix to put in my jars. Then can add the fruit on hand as well as all the other wet ingredients. The plums and apricots are on the trees n just waiting for them to ripen. Then in winter apple and cinnamon. Trick Rachel taught me, freeze them to help with self control.

in Houston the thrift stores charges 6 dollars for each jar used and no tops...it is cheaper to buy them new..

What a great way to stock some dry goods!

My mom got me a Mason Jar gift giving recipe book probably 20 years ago and I've always wanted to do it, just never have. I just might this year! Lol Great ideas rachel. Thanks!!

Love this as a gift idea !

Yes please for the brownies and coco mix.

I love this idea--not only for gift giving, but for my own pantry. How nice to keep some of these on hand instead of store bought. (PS....YT unsubbed me from your channel unbeknownst to me. Grrr at YT! I re-subbed!) God bless!

What a fabulous idea- Thanks Rachel I will try this as well as I am always quickly throwing together a banana cake if I know friends are coming. Cheers Denise - Australia

enjoyable video

These would be great to have on hand. Thank you.

This is so perfect! For my pantry and as gifts. Thanks so much, I look forward to seeing more!

Planning on prepping Christmas gifts with this using our grandma's old canning jars.

Excellent!

Wow great idea! Thanks!

Great idea!!!

Yes please, can't wait for the rest of the mixes

Can’t wait for the next video!

Wonderful idea! I can’t wait for the others!

I’m saving this so I can make these. Love the idea.

Love this idea. Looking forward to the next mix in a jar.

How awesome. Love it

Super cute idea Rachel. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you!!❤

This looks easy and fun. I’m wondering about getting powdered eggs, milk, butter and vanilla and adding those in? That would make it even easier to make a cake! I wish my relatives weren’t so sugar free, gluten free, dairy free, etc. It makes it hard to give them home canned and home made gifts.

I love this idea! I hate using box mixes, and this would be easy to have on hand. Great co-workers gift idea, too.

Great tutorial

Would love to find a great hot cocoa mix recipe. Thanks for sharing, Rachel!

Can’t wait to try this! Making dinner for my moms birthday and needed a yellow cake recipe anyways. Going to make a few for the pantry too! Thank you for sharing.

Have you ever made a mix with dry milk powder, powdered eggs, etc? I would love to make these.

I made your homemade hot chocolate and it is crazy good. Can't wait to try this

I watched this again and this time I think I will mix everything up in a bowl and then put into the jar because there are times when I make a cherry dump cake, I only need half of a cake mix and this way I can just use half at a time.

Great idea's-thanks so much. Patiently waiting for your other jarred recipes 😊

Add 1/2 a cup of cocoa powder and it makes a really good chocolate cake, I split the batter in half. Froze half and baked the other

My husband has been after me to make a hot cocoa mix for him to enjoy. Looking forward to knowing how you make yours.

I heard it is around 7 Mondays left until Christmas, so you are not wrong, thinking it is fast approaching.
