Cakes in a Jar

I am an avid baker, and was SO excited to hear about this...have you ever heard of a Cake in a Jar before? I hadn't! I heard of this neat idea from my cousin Sarah. She is an Army wife and mother of two, who's husband was recently deployed to Afghanistan, 37 days ago to be exact. This isn't the first time he's been deployed either :-( I admire her so much for her bravery and courage. She has been posting updates to her Facebook of what she's done each day that her husband has been gone. I always check each day for that little update, and say a little prayer for them, as well as all families of the armed services :-) The other day she had a post about sending soliders Cakes in a Jar. FiftyTwoCakes has an excellent article about Cakes in a Jar and how to make them, you can find that here! If you know or are related to someone who is deployed this is such a great idea to send them. Here are the cakes that Sarah made for her husband!

Coconut Cake in a Jar! :-) Are you not SO impressed with these!!! And, get this...they're HOMEMADE!!! Talk about yummy!!! My cousin is an AWESOME cook and baker and she's an equally good, if not better, wife and mommy. Here she is with her husband and two sweet boys as they said goodbye on the day her husband deployed.

Are they not the cutest little family?! Look at those handsome boys, too cute! :-) Please take a moment to say a prayer for this sweet family. Pray for Cory to return home safe and for Sarah to have peace of mind while he's away. I cannot imagine having two little ones running around in the middle of the chaos of a deployment! I love you guys and am always thinking of you! :-) Thanks for letting me blog about you guys Sarah!!!
