Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the white cake mix according to the package instructions in a large mixing bowl. Divide the batter into four smaller bowls and add food coloring to each bowl.
  2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and fill a cupcake tin with the colored batter. Bake for 18-20 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool completely.
  3. Once cooled, crumble the cupcakes into small pieces while keeping the colors separate.
  4. If using store-bought frosting, stir until creamy. For homemade, prepare until light and fluffy. Transfer to a piping or zip-top bag.
  5. Layer the jars by starting with crumbled cake, then frosting, alternating until jars are filled. Finish with frosting on top.
  6. Decorate the tops with edible grass and jelly bean eggs, or sprinkles.
  7. Chill the jars in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
