Cream Filled Cupcakes- In a Jar!

The first time I saw these Cupcakes in a Jar, I fell in love. It's such an original and creative idea. So, of course I mentally filed away the idea for future use. When Purim was approaching, this idea floated towards the front of my cluttered brain. I wanted to do something a little different, hence the Cream Filled Part. But these aren't just for Purim- they definitely have the critical "wow factor" and are fun for any sort of gifts or get-togethers. 


Here's what you need to make these:

1 recipe Hershey's Perfectly Chocolate Cake

Bake the cake according to instructions, in a 9x13. Allow to cool completely. Crumble the cake- I used a food processor fitted with the knife blade. Fill a clean 8 ounce jar about 1/3 of the way with cake crumbs. Fill a pastry bag (fitted with just a coupler) with cream. Pipe a ring of cream around the perimeter of the inside of the jar, and then fill in the middle. Top with more cake crumbs. Freeze until solid. Make the chocolate glaze, and add a few tablespoons of water to make it extra thin. Pour on top of crumbs. Use remaining cream to make the signature "Squiggly". Tie a ribbon around and enjoy!
