Incredibly Simple Summer Desserts

 
Do these look complicated to you? ...because they're not. Not. At. All. For these desserts, presentation really is everything. I made my ingredients from scratch, but if you're in a rush, your ingredients don't even have to be homemade!
 
What you need:
 
  • Mason jars, with lids (I used 1 dozen of the smallish ones)
  • Your favorite sheet cake
  • Pudding, flavor of choice
  • Whipped cream
  • Fresh fruit, diced
 
What you do:
 
Slice your sheet cake in half horizontally, making it into two thin layers. With a biscuit cutter, or another mason jar, start cutting jar-sized circles into each cake layer. You will need two cake circles per jar.
 
Once circles are cut, place one cake circle at the bottom of each jar. Press it down firmly to eliminate air pockets, but do not crush it. Add layers of the remaining ingredients in this order: pudding, diced fruit, whipped cream, cake circle #2, pudding. Top with remaining diced fruit and/or whipped cream.
 
That's it! Screw those lids on, pop the jars in the fridge, and you're all set. All of the cuteness, for half of the effort.
 
Enjoy!
