If your looking for a super-cute and easy way to deliver a cupcake this can-tastic gift in a jar is not only cute but super easy to give! Save your cans and use a can opener that will leave a smooth edge on your can. Make sure you clean it well with soap and water. Once your cupcakes are done, make sure they cool completely. Remove the cupcake wrapper and place cupcake in a can and top with icing and sprinkles. Add another cupcake on top and ice and add sprinkles. Then cover with plastic wrap and replace the lid on the can of soup.
