carrot cake with cream cheese icing
Well, I also couldn't pass up $1 sweets at the Jack Daniels pop-up either. This one had cream cheese icing (YEAH!) and just a hint of the whiskey in it. While I can't quite confirm I tasted any Jack in this, it wasn't bad and was definitely super moist. And at that price point it was totally in my wheelhouse of likeness. It had the heft I crave to satisfy. Or maybe there was a lot of liquor in it and I just imagined I liked it cause I was drunk? Whatever, I ate the whole thing by myself anyway.
