While otherwise cake crowns don't last long in our house (my children can't wait till i have leveled a cake for decorating so that they can gobble down the crowns), my family was on vacation and hence cake leftovers. For once I had cake crowns left to recycle them into something beautiful and yummy!.
I took two 10 inch round cake crowns that I had cut out of 10 inch cakes.
With a small round cutter, the size of a dessert glass (oh I so love these dessert glasses, they bring out your creative side), I cut out circles.
I layered the circles into the dessert glasses alternating them with cream cheese frosting. The cream cheese frosting was also made from leftover buttercream. I simply added Philadelphia cream cheese to the buttercream to get a lovely creamy textured cream cheese.
Refrigerated these beauties and headed to the airport to receive my family, knowing well that they would indulge themselves in this simple, tasty and tempting dessert as soon as they got home.... But before that they had to have their dinner and .... Leave room for dessert.
Now for making cake jars..all I need are some mason jars....
