All the goodness you need in a jar

It usually starts out like this – we get inspired by baked goods on Instagram, then rush to the nearest store to buy a mason jar, scour the net for the perfect recipe, and get busy in the kitchen. But hard as we try, we never come close to replicating what we see online. 

Buying a whole cake might be wasteful, since no one ever really finishes it (Rule #14 of 15 Unwritten Rules of Singapore). Transporting the cake is another hassle, and you know how hard it is to hide a 6-inch cake in your bag. That’s where Little Nothings Bakery comes in. Specialising in making delicious, aesthetically pleasing desserts like their Jar Cakes, which are almost too pretty to eat.

The bakery also boasts a secret recipe for their famous buttercream, which many have raved about. Here are 5 reasons why the ‘cake’ bit of your next surprise party is all set.

1. It’s cheaper than buying a whole cake

Many have faced this dilemma before – buying a whole birthday cake isn’t cheap, but buying just a single slice for the birthday boy or girl seems borderline cheapo – not to mention it looks terrible. But what if the slice came in a pretty glass jar? That’s a total game changer – never underestimate the power of a hipster mason jar. 

You’ll save a lot of money buying these affordable jar cakes instead of that triple layer chocolate banana walnut whole cake. Throwing your friend a birthday surprise on a budget? No problem.

Original Jar Cake: $12
Small and Medium (only available for bulk orders): $7 and $9

2. The packaging is totez Insta-Worthy

Another downside to having a  whole cake – everyone gets fat. But with Jar Cakes, only the birthday guy or girl will suffer those (worthy) calories! Each jar cake is one serving, unless you decide share and did I mention, the packaging is totally gorgeous?!

Say goodbye to leftover cake, stored in the fridge, never to see daylight again. These Jar Cakes are individually packaged to ensure optimal freshness and minimum wastage. Plus, you won’t need to scramble on find plates because these cakes are meant to be eaten right out of the jar.

3. You will never have to worry about ruining your cake ever again

Not only is this cake picture-perfect, it’s mess-free and easy to bring around. Carrying a box of cake is a nerve wracking experience, and every slightest tilt of the box seems to cause an earthquake inside. Jar cakes can be thrown into your bag, rolled down a hill, or inverted 360°, and they’ll still look as pretty as before.

Gone will be the days when you open the box to a battlefield that used to be your birthday cake. These compact jar cakes ensure that you’ll arrive at the party with a flawless and untouched birthday cake.

4. They make perfect emergency gifts

Forgot your bff’s birthday present? Last minute need of event door gifts? Accidentally offended your girlfriend by giving the wrong answer to “do I look fat in this”? These jar cakes have got you covered. 

It’s nearly impossible to resist Little Nothings’ jar cakes – they are too cute. I mean, just look at that rainbow cake. JUST LOOK.  Those sweet, fluffy layers of chiffon and cream are bound to please any crowd, or calm the angry girlfriend back home.

5. You can reuse the cute mason jars

It’s not over when you finish the last bite of the cake – these cute mason jars are totally worth re-using! Whether you’re repurposing it to hold your stationery or makeup brushes, room decor, or a lamp; there are a hundred creative ways to upcycle these jars. 

And even if you’re inspired to make your own jar cake, you’ll already have a jar on hand which you can use, and a taste of what a good jar cake should be like. Additionally, you’re saving the environment – good on you!
