Dessert
I first started making these little treats in college. Cake in a Mason jar . . . what could be more Southern? Or more to the point, what could be easier to keep and store in a college dorm room? You make the cake, bake it in the jar and then you can put a lid on it and keep it safe and bug free until you're ready to eat it, which is a form environment in South Georgia is a very important thing! Plus you didn't have to hunt down a knife or plate when you were ready to eat it. Just grab a disposable fork, spoon or spork and go.
These little holiday treats are always a huge hit.

If you can find white peppermint icing, it adds a lot of panache to it. But cream cheese and vanilla work darn good, too!
