  • Now it’s time to fill the mason jars:
    • Mike: Fill the jar halfway with the green cake mix
    • Sulley: Add a layer of blue cake mix, then add small drops of purple cake mix on the sides. Repeat until you reach halfway
  • Place the mason jars in the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes. Make sure to keep an eye on them because they can turn a bit brownish at the bottom if you leave them there for too long
