If your holidays are crazy like mine are you might want to make one of these for yourself! I like the idea of doing cakes and pies in a jar. They’re so much less messy and look really cute. Remember these are not kid friendly so make sure you tell whomever you are giving it to!

Note: All the whiskey does NOT cook out of the cake, so it is NOT kiddie-friendly.
