Carrot Cake
Yesterday, a good friend of mine came over to spend some time in my kitchen. You see, it was her husband’s birthday and she wanted to make him a carrot cake (his favorite). I hadn’t planned originally on making one for our family, but it sounded so good I went with it! My friend made hers in a 13×9 pan and wrote Happy Birthday on it….me? This is what I did! I like double decker cakes…more frosting per bite! I decorated the top with green and orange Wilton’s candy melts. You can certainly leave it undecorated though!
