Spectacular idea, Sheryl. The small touches – the thank you tags attached with mini clips to twine make homemade sweets so much sweeter. And the banana bread does look divine. Thank you for this post =)
I just bought a fun cookbook called Desserts in Jars. How fun is this! I’m starting a new board on Pinterest–Just Jars!
Fun post.
What a marvelous party favor!!! And such a cute presentation~
I would love getting these as a favor! They are so cute and clever 🙂
This is great, I am doing a surprise 50th B-Day party for my husband and banana bread is his favorte. (Western theme)
When do you put the lids on? While hot or after they cool? Will these stay fresh for awhile, or do they need to be eaten within a certain amount of time?
Hi Vicky,
Once the bread has cooled completely. I would store them in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. 🙂
