I woudn't bother taking the chance if it does melt it could get inside the jars. If u are boiling then i'd be worried about the tape peeling off and moisture getiing inside the jar and overmoisturizing your cakes

I use duct tape on all my jars. Works great! :laugh:

You should be ok, I pressure cook jars of birdseed for 90 minutes with the duct tape, no probs.
