The cakes usually shrink a little so they are not exactly the size of the base of the jar.<br />Once you do a quick slide with the knife, you should be good to go!<br />TrishPrepared Not Scaredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06378039729569472094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3014509678813859675.post-22717136552414250612010-06-08T00:09:44.238-06:002010-06-08T00:09:44.238-06:00Tricia

I know you said they slide right out but I was looking at a wide mouth and relized that the jar is still wider than the mouth...It just looks like it will not come out.. Going to give it a try soon,though. I do the cooking ideas for our RS and thought this might be a good idea.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16350154500287352034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3014509678813859675.post-86598767465987588972010-04-30T09:24:18.742-06:002010-04-30T09:24:18.742-06:00You're right on the cake and the toilet paper ...You're right on the cake and the toilet paper . . . I wouldn't want to go without either!<br />I have collected a lot of great cake and dessert mixes. Maybe I'll try to get them typed up before Mother's Day so that they can be put into a little book, then you can do a "Mixes and Recipe Swap" instead of a "Cake Jar Swap!"<br />TrishThe David and Tricia Smith Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07610240798941894848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3014509678813859675.post-53785247087427109022010-04-30T08:35:23.459-06:002010-04-30T08:35:23.459-06:00Oh thank you for taking my comment in the spirit i...Oh thank you for taking my comment in the spirit it was intended! :) I recently was looking for some homemade cake mixes that I could store (and use instead of the expensive store mixes). I found a few, but wondered if you'd had any experience with finding/using cake mixes...because it is always easier to face any emergency with a cake (as much a necessity as toilet paper I think we both agree).Pamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3014509678813859675.post-44349490475366148372010-04-29T21:42:54.934-06:002010-04-29T21:42:54.934-06:00Pam,

I have done a lot of research on Jar Cakes and it is important for everyone to know that even though these recipes have been around for the eternities . . . the new testing has not. All of the old canning recipes have to go through the new testing to see if the canning instructions produce a safe and healthy product. <br />If you are worried, maybe you can still do the Cake Jar Swap and eat a cake a day until they're gone! I could make that kind of sacrifice if I have to!<br />Thank You Again for ever-so-gently correcting this ole' girl! The goal of this blog is to teach people about food storage, encourage to them to use it . . . and most importantly - live to talk about it!<br />TrishThe David and Tricia Smith Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07610240798941894848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3014509678813859675.post-87707258241005027842010-04-29T13:35:44.664-06:002010-04-29T13:35:44.664-06:00I really enjoy reading this blog (you are so encou...I really enjoy reading this blog (you are so encouraging, creative and knowledgeable) and that's why I felt I should respond to to this post. Preserving a cake in a jar sounds like such a terrific idea, however several food researchers at major universities and food perservation safety experts have discouraged it. Here are a couple of links:<br /><br />http://www.uga.edu/nchfp/questions/FAQ_canning.html#30<br /><br />http://foodsafety.psu.edu/jar_bread.htm<br /><br />The likelihood of botulism may be quite low, but I'm sure you'd like to know. I promise I'm not trying to ruin the post. :) Please keep your great ideas coming; I really love them!Pamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3014509678813859675.post-12270825023923845952010-04-29T10:12:23.053-06:002010-04-29T10:12:23.053-06:00Jess,

The Alphagraphics in on 265 South Main in Bountiful. The number is: 801-295-2400. You could give them a call ahead of time and they can have the copies ready for you when you come to Utah!(They are Amazing . . .
