At first glance this bottle of Jack Daniel's Tennessee whiskey appears to be just that: a bottle of whiskey. But upon closer examination you will find it is a two-hit wonder, a duo of beloved treats: cake with (score!) a little bit of whiskey baked into it.

Zoe from the Whipped Bakeshop spent hours on this deceptive, decadent chocolate-whiskey birthday cake filled with caramel-whiskey buttercream and wrapped in fondant she painted by hand. Even its "hardwood" base is made of sugar.

While it is probably best washed down with a glass of cold milk, we imagine the birthday boy, Josh, downed a few shots of the real thing before building up the nerve to cut into this culinary work of art.
