Carrot Cake

It’s my birthday!

I love carrot cake. It’s always been my mom’s favorite, and I’ve discovered it’s my favorite, too!

I presented my nephew with this colorful creation for this eighth birthday and his eyes were aglow, his toothless smile wide. I hope you and your families enjoy it as much as we did.
