AMost likely if you are serving these at work, most people will eat it and leave the jar. You might want to put a box out so people can put the used jars. There will always be people that will want to take some home, so if you really need your jars back, keep in mind you probably won't get them all back. If they are not all eaten at the office, there will be people that will take the leftovers home without asking.
If cost is an issue, you could do the really small jars. That would be enough for a cupcake. Not as grand as a taller jar, but...
AI saw this on Shark Tank. They sell them so they don't get the jars back.

The cupcake in a jar is not new. These are mini trifles and have been around for generations: Cake layered with filings in a clear glass bowl.
Thank you. However, I never said this idea was new. I've just never had any experience with them and wanted some opinions.
I love the idea of treats in a jar. Don't ask me why! It just seems so darn cute! I once made pies in a jar. I used the little 4 oz. wide mouth jars. They were not all that expensive. I think you should go for it. I think everyone will get a kick out of it. Even though the idea is not new, I'll bet most of the people you work with will not have seen them or had them before.
i've been baking treats for me & my husband in itty bitty mason jars--but so far i've used a water bath--but i mean they can go into pressure cookers and should be fine just as is in the oven w/o the water bath doncha think--of course i'd test it first--if you even meant baking in them ;)
it's a cute idea--it's fun to eat out of them

Sorry, I sincerely didn't mean to sound snarky. They were presenting this as some new thing they came up with and I believe in giving credit where credit is due. If something inspires a person they should say so. I do think the mason jar idea is awesome. It's a way of being able to ship cupcakes without worrying about the decorated top gets smushed. Very clever twist.
AI'd want my jars back but that's because I like to collect stuff and line them up and look at them. My husband calls me rain man.

It's ok....They were just new to me. I've not done too many cupcakes and nothing out of the ordinary that's for sure. I ended up doing banana pudding in cute little containers because I got sick. Sooo simple does it, but haven't given up on the Mason jars!! :)
AI have sent these to my husband several times throughout his deployments. The last ones I sent were orange creamsicle, with a can of that frosting you mix flavors into. He would walk into his office and there would be somebody sitting at his desk with a mouthful of cake. I used the really small jars and made s'mores for our son. Those were a big hit, but he's stingy with his goodies. It was quite pratical doing it this way since in the past with baked goods we were at the mercy of the USPS

How does one get it out of the jar, to eat it, without having to smash the glass? Let's face it, broken glass is not "Good Eats."

Thinking about doing some mason jar cupcakes for a co-workers Bday. Any insight on these? Never used the jars before. What do you do with the jars afterwards, do you ask for them back? Any info would be greatly appreciated!! thanks
I actually sell these.. the 4oz jar are cute as pie.. and it fits perfectly 1 cupcake.. with frosting. the 8oz jars fits 2 cupcakez. my customers keep the jars cause they paid for it.. But what i do is use a label on my jar.. with my logo.. (constant reminder) I just found a place that will affordable customize the jar with my logo i'm considering doing that.. but I have to figure the amount on that.. ---

OK, I'm confused. Are you actually baking the cupcake in the jar, or putting it in w/ frosting after baking?
Bake the traditional cupcake, when it is cool, remove the paper, break it, layer it in the jar with filling and icing, just as in the video. Mason jars are made to sustain the heat of jams, jellies, preserves (210-220 ish), but I don't believe they are intended to be oven proof, as in the temps needed for baking (325-350).

Awesome! That's smart! I may try that if I do more cupcakes. Thanks!

YES!!! Exactly!
AI baked them in the jars. I put them on a cookie sheet before i baked them. I would do one as a test just to make sure you use the correct amount of batter. Make sure to put the lids on right away so they seal tight. Tell your friend thankks for being one of "The Silent Ranks" :USA:.
