Chocolate & Salted Caramel Cupcakes in a Jar

This is such a wonderful idea for a gift. Layered chocolate sponge with salted caramel and buttercream. These cupcakes in a jar are the perfect idea for a wedding favour, or just a nice take away for any guest to a party. The undecorated cakes can be frozen. The undecorated cakes will keep in an airtight container for 2 days. The assembled cakes don't need to be kept in the fridge. Consume the assembled cakes within 3 days We made our sponge cakes but you don't have to. Any firm shop bought cake will do.
