christmas eve started with decorating cookies for santa and a birthday cake for Jesus. (they didn't want to eat the cake until Jesus came to his party)

i've made them 2 different ways. baking the cake in a pan then spooning it in the jars and baked them right in the jar. i like the first way so you can layer the cake and icing.
