carrot cakes
Saturday July 25th 2009, 9:08 am







My friend Katie is coming over today so last night we made carrot cakes. I used a recipe I found online here..and they are so good..good even just as muffins! I want to try some of the advice in the comments with reducing sugar and using applesauce instead of the oil as well. The carrots are made from marzipan, and I followed the great instructions here for those.

I also have another giveaway to post today. Something aimed at fashion minded kids/tweens. :)



Oh my, I do believe those marzipan carrots are the best thing ever.

Ah! Those little slightly brown-y slivers in the carrots are so realistic! You are certainly a magical food-wizard. :)

Your cupcakes look amazing! I love marzipan, but I’ve never used it.

Rad rad rad rad rad! I love food that looks like other food.

My birthday’s coming up… maybe I’ll send this along to my boyfriend as a Subtle Hint ;)
