These red velvet cupcakes in a jar by Cakies is a recipe you just got to bake.  Bright red cake is layered with sweet, slightly tangy cream cheese frosting in a simple canning jar.  This is a great dessert to serve at a child's birthday party, for a wedding, or just to enjoy with family and friends.  Besides, who can really resist the allure of red velvet anyway?
