Cookie Monster Cake Jars

Fun, vibrant, and delicious layers of blue cake and frosting served in individual jars, inspired by the world’s most famous cookie lover.

Scale

1 box blue velvet cake mix (plus required eggs, oil, and water)
2 cups vanilla buttercream frosting
Blue gel food coloring

Instructions
