Individual Strawberry Shortcakes

One of the very first ideas we pinned to the baby shower Pinterest board was a picture of individual strawberry shortcakes in tiny jars. So cute! But I wasn't really sure how to recreate it, and the source of the image didn't provide any instructions (don't you hate that?)
